I was wondering what those 3 giant circles on the side of the hull were for ! This design and concept is truly brilliant. Congratulations once again to you, Austal . Respects
I find the competition between the two surviving companies in the large fast ferry industry interesting. Incat and Austal have been competing for decades, which keeps their products continuously evolving.
Cool to see electric ferries in the future. Totally makes sense on ships like these. I am wondering if it would be refittable to older combustion ships..?!
Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana and Barbados just made an announcement to create a ferry service between the three countries. Can you sell this idea strongly to them?
I am really surprised to see a vessel of this size to be powered by batteries. I thought that Hydrogen would be the power source of choice for ships this big.
I always see a lot of comments like this about ferries - many people seem to equate large scale with a high energy per weight. Most ferries don't need the absolute energy content per weight beyond a single leg, and can use repetitive charging cycle with high durability chemistries. Lithium titanium-oxide chemistry is of note as well as LFP, or simply a shallow charging of NMC.
With the inefficiencies of hydrogen production, transportation, and storage, the compromises with current battery technology are suddenly not so scary.
A nice concept, but it relies on batteries that require lithium. The lithium mining industry is going to explode with huge demand. I researched how many new cars are sold each year around the world and if they all require a lithium battery, how much does each car need in lithium? Well, our current mining industry can only support 10% of that demand. Then they will learn how destructive lithium mining is and we will back to square one.

Be interesting to see once there’s one up and running! 🤨

What software are you using for 3d rendering? Thanks.
Where does the electricity come from to recharge it?
a very nice construction
Dear austal,why not charge as you go with a water turbine ?🤔⛵💕

This is interesting
How much in dollars would these go for
High eight figures to low nine figures approximately.
Coool!

Lost at net zero!
