Current ferry, Ampere, is 2 x 450kW (600HP) motors, 1000kWh of batteries, and makes 34 trips of 5.7km. Aluminum. NICE! http://www.ship-technology.com/projects/norled-zerocat-elect...


Electric ferry- battery powered. They plan to develop hydrogen fueled ferries- but may start in passengerless freighters until the safety stuff is worked out.
