Sembcorp Marine Ltd has completed the first of three zero-emission battery-powered ferries for Norled AS. The Ferry named Hella is now being transported by the Roll Group vessel Rolldock Storm to Europe.
The ferries are designed by Sembcorp wholly-owned subsidiary LMG Marin AS. They will operate normally on zero-emission, powered by lithium-ion batteries at a service speed of 10 knots. When required, they can run on combined battery-diesel hybrid backup modes. The batteries will be charged and recharged using green hydroelectric power.
Vessel details:
Length 82.4m | 300 passengers and crew | 80 cars or 10 cars/ 10 trailer trucks
Route: Hella-Vangsnes-Dragsvik (Norway)
The remaining two Ropax ferries are expected to be ready in 2022.
