With the previous delivery of a hybrid and fully electric ferry and a contract for three additional hybrid ferries ongoing, Schlepp- and Fährgesellschaft Kiel (SFK) has recently awarded an additional fully electric ferry to Holland Shipyards Group.
The design of the additional ferry, to be named ‘Wellingdorf’, is in line with the previously delivered vessel ‘Düsternbrook’. The ferry will measure 24,70 m by 6,50 m and is completely emission-free. She will entirely be powered by battery power with an installed capacity of 1.092 kWh. Besides the battery pack the vessel has 20 solar panels on the roof to contribute in feeding the on-board electrical system.
