in a strong global market, we are proud to contribute to the electrification of the HADAG fleet in the Port of Hamburg,\u201d said Alexander Lehmann, managing director of Lehmann Marine GmbH.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"545\" data-end=\"937\">\u201cThis project demonstrates that high-performance battery systems are now a proven and practical solution for the emission-free operation of passenger

history, centres on its modular CUBE energy storage platform, a system already operating on numerous vessels worldwide.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"939\" data-end=\"1310\">It\u2019s a technology which is engineered for high safety standards, long service life and simplified maintenance, with a modular architecture designed for straightforward integration across a range of vessel concepts.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1312\" data-end=\"1672\">Each Type 2030e electric ferry will measure approximately 30 metres in length with an eight-metre beam and capacity for up to 250 passengers.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1312\" data-end=\"1672\">With 3.8 MWh of installed battery capacity per vessel, the ships are designed to enable fully electric vessel operations, delivering quiet, emission-free
