Ice, a marine design company, in light of a customer’s demand, recently developed a design for an all-electric ferry that will be able to carry 200 passengers and 45 cars. The electric ferry is another example of the company to serve technology demands in the maritime sector.
Specifically, the ferry has a shallow-draft double-ended mono-hull and will be propelled by four 750 kW propeller pods, reaching a speed of 15 knots in open water and operating with 10 knots in harbour.
Moreover, each terminal that will be serving the ferry, will have remotely operated battery charging stations on the shore-side.
Concluding, each terminal will be equipped with magnetic pad mooring mechanisms to unmanned moor and release the vessel quickly and securely in a variety of tidal conditions.
