Electric and Hybrid Propulsions for Cruise and Ferry

Electric Motors for Cruise and Ferry Boats

Looking for a more sustainable propulsion system for your cruise boat or ferry? We can help.

Inland cruise and ferry operators can future-proof their business with a variety of electric and hybrid propulsion solutions designed to suit your vessel’s needs.

With our range of inboard and outboard motors, hybrid drive thrusters, and fully electric and hybrid-ready gearboxes, operators can reduce their business’s operating costs and improve passenger comfort and experience.

We have the application to suit your vessel with power ranging from 2kW to 2000kW while allowing for slow and precise manoeuvring.

All our products offer the user low maintenance, reduced fuel costs and operational savings.

Electric and hybrid propulsion can help you enjoy quieter operations, reduce emissions to zero, and lead the way to greener solutions on our seas and waterways.

Benefits

A Perfect Application

With cruise or ferry trips, electric propulsion is ideal. As the service schedule is known, it is very easy to design a system to perfectly meet the requirements of the vessel. Speed and range can be accurately predicted along with specific charging intervals.

 

Eco-friendly

As well as using less harmful fuels, electric propulsion also helps protect the environment by reducing emissions, sound and odour pollution.

 

Savings

Maintenance is greatly minimised, and the frequency of repairs are reduced due fewer moving parts and the simplicity of electric design. Operation safety is greatly improved by the removal of flammable fuels and oils as well as low 48V options.
