"The first fully electric zero-emissions ferry in the United Kingdom has been
launched on the River Thames in London by operator Uber Boat by Thames
Clippers.
Set to operate between Rotherhithe on the south of the River Thames and Canary
Wharf on the northern side, the new electric ferry, named
Orbit Clipper, will
cross the river every 10 minutes on weekdays and 15 minutes on weekends.
Orbit Clipper’s roll-on/roll-off design enables automated docking on both
sides and has space for 150 passengers as well as 100 bicycles.
“The launch of
Orbit Clipper is a significant milestone for sustainable
transport in London,” said Sean Collins, CEO of Uber Boat Thames Clippers.
“As the UK’s first all-electric, zero-emissions vessel, it represents our
commitment to reducing the city’s carbon footprint while continuing to provide
reliable and efficient river transport.
“
Orbit Clipper not only showcases cutting-edge innovation but also sets a new
standard for eco-friendly travel on the Thames, helping to shape a cleaner,
greener future for Londoners and visitors alike.”"
