The propulsion system order was placed with W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 by All American Marine, on behalf of San Francisco Bay Ferry,.<\/p>\n<p>W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 notes that it has supplied more battery power to the marine industry than any other electrical propulsion provider in the world and says that, in awarding the contract, the company\u2019s extensive global experience in developing and supplying integrated systems and solutions for zero-emission high-speed vessels was a key consideration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese 150-passenger ferries represent a transformative step forward in sustainable and innovative marine transportation,\u201d said AAM president Ron Wille. \u201cThey showcase AAM\u2019s unwavering commitment to innovation, delivering cutting-edge, emission-free solutions. As we look to the future of this project, we are relying upon W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s advanced technologies and extensive expertise to continue driving the success of this pioneering project.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The three zero-emission vessels will be the first delivered as a part of San Francisco Bay Ferry\u2019s Rapid Electric Emission Free (REEF) Ferry Program and will operate on new routes that connect two of San Francisco\u2019s fastest growing neighborhoods, Treasure Island and Mission Bay, to SF Bay Ferry\u2019s downtown ferry hub.<\/p>\n<p>W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 will work within the REEF project team to finalize the vessel and charging system concepts.<\/p>\n<p>W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s scope of supply is for the full electric propulsion system. This includes the energy and power management system (EPMS), the integrated automation system (IAS), batteries, D.C. hub, transformers, electricmotors, and the shore power supply. The W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 equipment is scheduled for delivery commencing in 2026, and the first vessel is expected to join the ferry fleet in early 2027.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe award of this contract represents a clear endorsement of our strong track record in systems integration and emission-free propulsion and supports our global efforts to decarbonize the marine industry,\u201d said Jan Othman, vice president, project services at W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Marine, \u201cWe congratulate SF Bay Ferry and AAM for their vision in bringing this exciting project to fruition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.auroramarinedesign.net\/\">Aurora Marine Design <\/a>in San Diego delivered the initial concept design of the vessels to SF Bay Ferry. Teknicraft is then responsible for the detailed design of the vessels which will be built to USCG Subchapter T standards. The vessels will operate at 24 knots, powered by dual 625-kilowatt electric motors. The ferries will be 100 feet long with 26-foot beam and a 5.9-foot draft.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinelog.com\/passenger\/ferries\/zero-emission-sf-bay-ferry-trio-will-have-wartsila-electric-propulsion\/\">Zero-emission SF Bay Ferry trio will have W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 electric propulsion<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinelog.com\/\">Marine Log<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><br \/>\n    Nick Blenkey<br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n<BR><\/BR><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinelog.com\/passenger\/ferries\/zero-emission-sf-bay-ferry-trio-will-have-wartsila-electric-propulsion\/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=zero-emission-sf-bay-ferry-trio-will-have-wartsila-electric-propulsion\">Go to marinelog<\/a><br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zero-emission SF Bay Ferry trio will have W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 electric propulsion W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 has been selected to supply the electric propulsion system for the three fully battery-electric, high-speed ferries that All American Marine (AAM) is to build for San Francisco Bay Ferry.
