The first of twelve new hybrid high-speed ferries designed by Incat Crowther for Italian ferry operator Liberty Lines have exceeded performance expectations during sea trials and will soon begin servicing Liberty Lines’ routes between Sicily and nearby islands.
The hybrid system is particularly suitable for the load profile of the harbour tug: it enables very precise manoeuvring and a strong bollard pull when the full power is used.
EST-Floattech announces its collaboration with Wight Shipyard Co. They will install the Octopus Series battery systems on two vessels, the “Mars Clipper” and Cross River Ferry, for Thames Clippers.
