Le MPS peut fournir des transmissions de données, peut être une source d'alimentation interchangeable et son récipient peut être commodément façonné. Le MPS peut être fourni dans un système de communication en nuage, un système d'alimentation en gaz hydrogène, un système d'alimentation en carburant marin et un système modulaire. L'invention concerne également un procédé d'échange en mer utilisant le MPS qui peut comprendre une étape de transfert d'énergie entre le MPS et l'engin nautique au moins partiellement entraîné électriquement tout en étant stationnaire ou en mouvement. Un emplacement d'échange peut comprendre des appareils de charge et des sources d'alimentation.
