Scope of Work for the Shipowner
- Outline design of a new battery-hybrid ferry tailored to the client's Parainen-Nauvo route
- Outline definition of required energy storage systems and electrical shore supply requirements
- Ice class comparison between two alternatives, Ice Class 1A and 1B
- Linkspan studies and design
Project Features
- The diesel-electric battery-hybrid vessel will operate on mere battery power for most of the year, with diesel electricity generators used as a backup. The battery packs will be charged using a shore-based connection to the local grid at each side of the crossing.
- The environmentally friendly ferry will improve the transport options between Nauvo and Parainen in the Turku Archipelago
- Elektra will begin operating on the 1.6 km-long route in the summer of 2017
