The addition of these new vessels will increase total capacity for cars and passengers on the Kattegat route by more than 25 percent. The ships are expected to join the fleet in Denmark during 2027 and 2028.<\/p>\n<p>W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s scope of supply for the two vessels covers the integrated electric propulsion system, the DC power conversion system, its energy management and automation systems, eight electric propulsion motors and waterjets, as well as the W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 ProTouch propulsion control system for smooth and efficient sailing.<\/p>\n<p>The ferries will serve the Kattegat route, setting a milestone towards the green transition for ferry services and for Denmark as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a major project that supports the ferry industry\u2019s move towards more decarbonized operations. With these electric ferries built by Incat and powered by W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s electrification technology, we aim to remove thousands of tons of CO2 emissions from Denmark\u2019s climate footprint each year,\u201d said Molslinjen CEO Kristian Durhuus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur partnership with Molslinjen and Incat not only brings electric vessels to the Kattegat route, but also continues our joint commitment in accelerating the industry\u2019s path towards net-zero emissions shipping,\u201d said Roger Holm, president of W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Marine and executive vice president at W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Corporation. \u201cW\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s values and principles in shipping are deeply rooted in sustainability, innovation, and performance, and through our experience in vessel electrification, we have already delivered solutions for 150 hybrid-electric ships, with this number continuing to grow,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not just building ships \u2013 we are building the future,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/incat.com.au\/directors-and-executives\/\">Stephen Casey, CEO, Incat Tasmania. <\/a>\u201cLarge-scale, low-emission transport solutions are not only possible, but are ready now. Incat Tasmania has always been at the forefront of innovating and pioneering new technology and design. The vessels address the market\u2019s needs and requirements by utilizing batteries, making this a very viable option for owners and operators looking to increase the sustainability of their fleets. W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 is a key player in the success of this project, supporting our goal of large-scale, low-emission transport with a completely integrated propulsion package.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The eight electric driven waterjet configuration feature low weight, shallow draft operation, low maintenance and easy access, safety and reliability, as well as superb manoeuvrability as a result of its integrated steering and reversing with quick response times. The waterjets have been designed for the highest overall propulsion efficiency. As the power is divided over more jets, the power density is lower, which means a higher efficiency. The W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 equipment is scheduled for delivery to the shipyard commencing in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinelog.com\/news\/new-all-electric-molslinjen-duo-will-feature-wartsila-electric-propulsion-package\/\">New all-electric Molslinjen duo will feature W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 electric propulsion package<\/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\/news\/new-all-electric-molslinjen-duo-will-feature-wartsila-electric-propulsion-package\/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=new-all-electric-molslinjen-duo-will-feature-wartsila-electric-propulsion-package\">Go to marinelog<\/a><br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New all-electric Molslinjen duo will feature W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 electric propulsion package The two new fully battery electric ferries recently ordered at Incat Tasmania by Danish operator Molslinjen (see earlier story) will be fitted with a W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 integrated electric propulsion system and waterjets.
