15FEB2019 - NEWS - ABB to supply integrated power to Icelandic’s hybrid electric ferry

ABB is set to supply integrated power to a 70m-long hybrid-electric ferry, which is under construction for the Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration at Crist shipyard in Poland. The new ferry has a 550-passenger and 75-car capacity. It is expected to take 3,600 13km trips a year between Landeyjahöfn on the mainland and the Westman Island. Designed by Polarkonsult to operate in electric mode most of the time, the vessel is scheduled to be delivered this year. The electric ferry will feature a large battery pack of 3,000kWh and will use its diesel-electric generator set during challenging weather conditions or when the consumption of battery power may exceed the available energy.
