Kongsberg Maritime (KM) has just been commissioned to supply a complete propulsion and control system package for a forthcoming Scandlines zero-emissions vessel which, when built, is destined to be the world’s largest all-electric double-ended ferry.
The ferry has been designed by LMG Marin AS in Norway and will be constructed at CEMRE SHIPYARD in Turkey, in close cooperation with Scandline’s vessel-newbuild experts. The new freight ferry is expected to enter service in 2024. As the first of the company’s next-generation vessels, heralding its ambitions to make its operations entirely emission-free, it will represent a momentous step in Scandlines’ green journey.
