"Tasmanian shipbuilder Incat Tasmania is currently building the world’s largest
zero-emissions catamaran ferry which will be fully battery-powered and use a
battery electric propulsion system and waterjets from Finnish technology giant
Wärtsilä.
Incat Tasmania selected Wärtsilä to provide the battery electric propulsion
system and waterjets in a deal announced in August 2023. The lightweight
battery-powered catamaran was ordered by South American ferry company Buquebús
and will be used to operate between Argentina and Uruguay.
Capable of carrying 2,100 passengers and crew, 225 cars, as well as a duty-free
shop of over 2,000 square metres, the Ro-Pax ferry will be delivered to
Buquebús some time in 2025. Now we have some details about the battery and
propulsion systems that will power it."
