The electrification of transportation is expanding at
\na fast pace and that includes the maritime sector where a growing list
\nof countries are requiring the electrification of ferries.
\nFully electric ferries reduce emissions \u2013 and noise (especially important
\nwithin the harbor) \u2013 as well as operational costs. Passenger ferries, which
\ntravel relatively short distances, are ideal for fully electric operation.
\nTo meet tight travel timetables, ferries are docked for only a limited time.
\nFor electric ferries, this means they require high-power charging, however,
\nthe electric grids in harbor communities are often limited and unable
\nto cope with the required high loads for vessel-charging. This was the
\nsituation at Millhaven and Stella harbors, both on the Lake of Ontario,
\nCanada.<\/p>\n
The solution was the development of a first-of-its-kind, combined
\nonboard and onshore energy storage solution enabling hybrid and fully
\nelectric vessels to recharge quickly when returning to port.<\/p>\n
