Det tasmanske værft Incat har startet bygningen af den første af de to elektriske hurtigfærger, som Molslinjen har bestilt hos dem.
“We’re not just building ships – we are building the future. Large-scale, low-emission transport solutions are not only possible, but are ready now. Incat Tasmania has always been at the forefront of innovating and pioneering new technology and design. The vessels address the market’s needs and requirements by utilising batteries, making this a very viable option for owners and operators looking to increase the sustainability of their fleets. Wärtsilä is a key player in the success of this project, supporting our goal of large-scale, low-emission transport with a completely integrated propulsion package.”
Stephen Casey, CEO, Incat Tasmania.
Det bliver det finske Wärtsilä, som skal levere fremdrift systemet til de to elektriske hurtigfærger. Det vil sige det integrerede elektriske fremdriftssystem, DC-strømkonverteringssystemet, dets energistyrings- og automatiseringssystemer, otte elektriske fremdriftsmotorer, waterjets samt Wärtsilä ProTouch-fremdriftsstyringssystem.
“Our partnership with Molslinjen and Incat not only brings electric vessels to the Kattegat route, but also continues our joint commitment in accelerating the industry’s path towards net-zero emissions shipping. Wärtsilä’s values and principles in shipping are deeply rooted in sustainability, innovation, and performance, and through our experience in vessel electrification, we have already delivered solutions for 150 hybrid-electric ships, with this number continuing to grow.”
Roger Holm, President of Wärtsilä Marine & Executive Vice President at Wärtsilä Corporation.
