"Australian shipbuilder Incat Tasmania has been selected to design and build a
third new battery electric ferry for Danish ferry operator Molslinjen in what
it says is part of the “world largest electrification project at sea.”
Incat Tasmania announced in July that Molslinjen had selected it to build two
new battery electric ferries for the busy Kattegat route between Jutland and
Zealand. The company says Molslinjen has now contracted Incat to build a third
electric ferry at its Hobart shipyard for the same route.
Each of the three high-speed ferries will measure 129 metres in length and will
be 100 per cent battery powered. They will feature 45 megawatt hour batteries,
and will each carry up to 1,483 passengers and 500 cars, operating at speeds
over 40 knots.
“This is an important milestone for both organisations,” said Stephen Casey,
CEO of Incat Tasmania.
“Molslinjen is leading the way in the decarbonisation of high-speed ferry
services in Europe, and we are proud to be delivering vessels that will play a
central role in Denmark’s clean-transport future.
“This additional order reflects Molslinjen’s confidence in our people, our
processes and our capability to build the world’s most advanced electric
high-speed ferries. Together, we are showing what’s possible when innovation,
ambition and real-world operational needs come together.”"
