Ferry-powering the wireless way

摘要

The world's first marine wireless charging and automatic mooring concept will be jointly developed by Waertsilae and Cavotec for use in Waertsilae's ship designs. The new collaborative agreement will see Waertsilae handle the power system while Cavotec will deliver the automated mooring technology for the green-minded concept. "The environmental challenge has been the starting point for Waertsilae's work in developing battery/hybrid technology for marine vessels. By making wireless charging of ship batteries possible, the electrification of coastal shipping is enhanced, resulting in major reductions in harmful exhaust emissions," says Waertsilae.
