The maritime industry is experiencing a significant shift towards cleaner and more sustainable practices, with ferries leading the charge in embracing battery power and alternative fuels for propulsion. As of May 2024, there were 8,704 passenger ferries globally, with 38 new ferries expected for delivery in the same year, many of which will utilize batteries. The ferry sector stands out in the shipping industry for its adoption of battery technology, with 346 operational car and passenger ferries and 98 on the orderbook. Industry experts emphasize the importance of electrification in the ferry sector, highlighting its suitability for short to medium-long routes. The industry is witnessing a surge in new orders for electric ferries, such as DFDS investing in six electric ferries for the Channel and Brittany Ferries partnering to explore zero-emissions craft designs. Shipyards like Incat Tasmania and Stena RoRo are actively involved in building electric ferries, with a focus on eliminating emissions and transitioning away from diesel-powered vessels. Technological advancements are evident in the development of electric foiling vessels and hydrofoiling wing-in-ground-effect ferries, enhancing energy efficiency and speed in maritime transport. Projects like Decatrip in Finland-Sweden and the UK's green shipping corridor highlight the global effort towards establishing carbon-neutral maritime transport routes, showcasing the industry's commitment to sustainability. While Europe leads in battery-powered ferries, other continents are also ramping up efforts towards electrification. The momentum towards green technology in the maritime sector indicates a positive shift towards a more sustainable future for maritime transport worldwide.
