Greener Maritime Future Envisioned by Australian Shipmaker Constructing Largest Battery Electric Ship

Australian shipbuilder Incat Tasmania is constructing the largest lightweight battery-electric ship for Uruguayan company Buquebus. The 130-meter vessel will have an energy storage system four times larger than any battery installation used in marine transport. It will accommodate 2100 passengers and crew, along with 225 cars, and will feature a Duty-Free Shop spanning over 2,000 square meters. The ship will utilize cutting-edge technology for zero-emissions propulsion and storage systems, with shore-side charging systems that exceed current global installations by 50%. Incat plans to expand its workforce by at least 200 employees in the coming year to meet rising demand for battery electric ships.
