"Norwegian tourism and technology company Brim Explorer announced this week
that it has signed contracts to build two fully electric trimarans that the
company says will be the world’s most efficient battery-powered vessels.
Based in Oslo, Norway, Brim Explorer bills itself as a tourism and technology
company that provides “silent and sustainable ocean excursions” aboard a fleet
of electric and hybrid electric boats.
Each vessel is purpose-built to be quiet, sustainable, and provide immersive
tourist experiences at sea, utilising either electric or hybrid-electric
propulsion. The company currently operates five vessels, including three
hybrid-electric and two battery-only.
And Brim Explorer will aim to add two more fully electric vessels to its fleet
in the first half of 2027 following this week’s announcement of contracts
signed for their construction.
Designed by its in-house technology division, Brim Tech, the two new vessels
will each boast capacity for 180 guests and provide emission-free and silent
sightseeing and experience cruises in some of Norway’s most beautiful
locations.
Each vessel, measuring in at 24 metres in length and a beam of 11 metres, will
boast a battery-only range of 100 nautical miles, or approximately 200
kilometres, at a speed of up to 20 knots."
