Conrad Shipyard has delivered the Harbor Charger, New York State\u2019s first hybrid-electric public ferry, to The Trust for Governors Island.<\/p>\n

Designed by Elliott Bay Design Group and built at Conrad\u2019s Morgan City, Louisiana facility, this groundbreaking 1,200-passenger vessel marks a bold step forward in sustainable maritime transportation.<\/p>\n

Equipped with Siemens Energy\u2019s advanced hybrid propulsion technology, the Harbor Charger operates in battery-only, zero-emissions mode or hybrid diesel-assisted mode resulting in a reduction of CO\u2082 emissions by nearly 600 tons annually.<\/p>\n

The ferry will replace a 1956 diesel-powered vessel, delivering faster, cleaner, and more efficient service for nearly one million visitors each year between Manhattan and Governors Island.<\/p>\n

\u201cDelivering the Harbor Chargerto New York Harbor is a proud moment for all of us at Conrad. The ferry is a great example of how traditional craftsmanship and next-generation technology can come together to shape a more sustainable future on the water,\u201d said Johnny Conrad, Executive Chairman. \u201cWe are honored to have partnered with the Trust and the people of New York to build a vessel that will serve the community for decades to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

With its modern amenities, ADA accessibility, and cutting-edge green technology, the vessel showcases what is possible when visionary design meets premier shipbuilding craftsmanship.<\/p>\n
