Electric ferries and hybrid vessels need high charging power in a short time at the quay. The transition to emission-free maritime transport is accelerating, but port grid infrastructure doesn’t always keep up.
Upgrading the port’s grid connection can take a long time and cost large sums. Meanwhile, ferries must charge quickly – often in very short windows between departures. Without sufficient power, you risk delays.
With a battery buffer at the quay, you can store energy while the ferry is out on its route, and deliver high power when it docks. The system works as a power booster – you get MW-level charging even with limited grid connection.
We take responsibility for the entire process – from needs analysis to ongoing operation of shore power and ferry charging.
We analyze the ferry route, power needs at the quay, grid capacity and docking times to size the right system.
You receive an offer for battery buffer and charging infrastructure tailored to the ferry route. We assist with applications to Enova and other grant programs.
We install battery buffer and charging system at the quay. Synchronization with the ferry schedule and training of port personnel.
Around-the-clock monitoring and automatic operation. Preventive maintenance and fast emergency response ensure the ferry can always be charged on time.
Deliver MW power to electric ferries even with limited grid connection. The battery buffers energy and delivers full power when the ferry docks.
Electric ferries have short stays at the quay. Battery buffer ensures full charging power is available from the first second.
Upgrading the port’s grid connection is expensive and time-consuming. Battery buffer gives you the power you need – faster and at lower cost.
Electric operation eliminates local emissions and noise in the port area. Better air quality for both employees and local residents.
The system synchronizes with ferry schedules. The battery charges between arrivals and is always ready when the ferry comes.
Playmaker software monitors and controls the system automatically. Optimal charging and buffering without manual intervention.
Ferries run on schedule. The charging system must be ready when the ferry docks. With a service agreement we ensure uptime.
