GOOD NEWS: WORLD’S FIRST ALL-BATTERY ELECTRIC FERRY DEBUTS IN NORWAY!
OSLO, NORWAY – March 10, 2023
In a groundbreaking move, Norwegian ferry operator Fjord1 has launched the world’s first all-battery electric ferry, revolutionizing the maritime industry and setting a new standard for sustainability.
The new ferry, named "Ampere," has been designed to operate entirely on battery power, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and noise pollution in environmentally sensitive areas. With a range of over 40 nautical miles, Ampere can travel from Bergen to Florø, covering a distance of approximately 140 nautical miles.
"This is a major breakthrough for our company and for the maritime industry as a whole," said Fjord1 CEO, Joachim Magnussen. "We’re proud to be at the forefront of this innovative technology and are committed to reducing our carbon footprint while providing reliable and efficient transportation services to our customers."
Ampere’s electric propulsion system uses advanced battery technology, enabling it to operate at speeds of up to 16 knots (30 km/h). The ferry’s eco-friendly design has also minimized its impact on the marine environment, with a specially designed hull to reduce water resistance and noise pollution.
KEY STATISTICS:
- Range: 40 nautical miles
- Top speed: 16 knots (30 km/h)
- Electric power: 1,200 kW
- Battery capacity: 4,750 kWh
- CO2 emissions: 0 kg (completely zero!)
INDUSTRY IMPACT:
This pioneering project is expected to pave the way for further innovation in the maritime sector, with many experts predicting a shift towards electric propulsion in the coming years. As governments around the world set stricter emissions regulations, the demand for eco-friendly vessels is likely to grow, making Ampere’s debut a significant milestone in the industry’s transition to sustainability.
SEEKING INNOVATION:
Fjord1 is now working with industry partners to further develop and improve electric propulsion technology, aiming to increase the range and efficiency of electric ferries. The company is also exploring the possibility of expanding its fleet with additional all-electric vessels.
