Using standard container sizes as betters modules is kind of genius. That way they can be swapped out when they get older and newer technology comes along, they could even be swapped between ships.
These batteries are likely far more complex in packaging, design, and thermal management that any consumer electronic cell. They’ll likely “fail safely” if/when they do fail.
Having seen some spicy pillows in my times… I’d hate to be onboard if any of the battery containers becomes a bouncy castle.
Good news, it’s surrounded by water! Bad news, it’s surrounded by water. 😡

I expect they are using LFP which doesn’t do that.
Fortunately energy density is not a concern with boats.
