New hybrid ferry for Amsterdam

The vessel, which will be capable of transporting 410 people at once, will be propelled by electrically-driven rudderpropellers of 250 kW each, which on their turn are driven by 133 kW diesel generators and battery packs.

An exhaust cleaning system will also be fitted to the 33,60 x 9,00m ferry to further reduce emissions of toxic exhaust gasses and particles.

Servicing the IJ-crossing routes in Amsterdam, it will be a fuel-efficient and environmentally-friendly addition to the Dutch ferry fleet.

It is expected for delivery towards the end of 2016.
