DENMARK – Without doubt the most outstanding fact to come from the latest press release regarding the new breed of electrically powered, zero emission ferries being deployed in Copenhagen is the charging time for the vessels' batteries, an incredible seven minutes.
The DNV-GL certified LTO battery systems to equip the five vessels have just been delivered from Swedish based supplier Echandia Marine. The project saw Movia, the country’s public transport provider put out a tender, won by Dutch shipyard group Damen, which in turn selected Echandia.
Working closely together with other suppliers Eekels, Heliox and Staubli, the international team developed an innovative auto-mooring system to ensure a secure connection between the vessel and charging infrastructure.
