DAMEN UNVEILS THE DESIGN BEHIND CANADA'S FIRST FULLY ELECTRIC FERRIES

摘要

Damen Shipyards Group has announced the Government of Ontario has accepted its proposal to build two ferries with full electric propulsion. Damen is building two road ferries — a 68 m model with capacity for 40 cars and a 98 m with capacity for 75 cars -to operate in the Canadian waters of the Great Lakes. The vessels will be the first fully electric, non-cable vessels in Canada. Both ferries have been designed to sail in 60 cm-thick ice and to be fully operational at -25°C in the harsh winter conditions of Canada.
