Electric Ferry Designed
by ICE
A
s part of a new ferry service planned by
an undisclosed client, ICE has recently
developed a design for an all-electric
ferry that can carry 200 passengers and
45 cars. The shallow-draft double-ended
mono-hull ferry will be propelled by
four 750 kW propeller pods, achieving
a speed of 15 knots in open water and
operating with 10 knots in harbour.
Remotely operated battery charging stations will be fitted
shore-side on each terminal, which will also be equipped with
magnetic pad mooring mechanisms to unmanned moor and
release the vessel quickly and securely in a variety of tidal
conditions. http://www.icedesign.info
