As the world transitions to a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly mode of transportation, electric vehicles (EVs) are increasingly being considered for use on roll-on and roll-off passenger ferries. However, integrating EVs into existing ferry operations poses several key considerations, including the impact on battery life, charging infrastructure, and overall safety. A new report from safety4sea delves into the challenges and potential solutions for incorporating EVs into ferry fleets, exploring the implications for vessel design, crew training, and passenger experience. With the European Union setting ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from transportation, the adoption of EVs on passenger ferries is likely to become a pressing issue in the coming years.
