Tasmania-based shipbuilder Incat says it has been selected to design and build two new state-of-the-art battery-electric ferries for Danish ferry operator Molslinjen. The vessels, each 129 meters (423 feet) long and powered by approximately 45,000 kWh battery systems, will operate on the busy Kattegat route between Jutland and Zealand, forming part of the world’s largest electrification project at sea.
This significant international order further cements Incat’s position as a leader in sustainable shipbuilding, with construction already well advanced on Hull 096, the world’s largest battery-electric ship, and Hull 100, a 78-meter (256-foot) next-generation hybrid ferry.
“These new vessels for Molslinjen mark a turning point not just for Incat but for the global maritime industry,” said Robert Clifford, Incat’s chairman. “They are part of a new class of high-speed, low-emission ships that are redefining what’s possible at sea.
