EV Maritime, the New Zealand electric ferry design and technology company tapped by California’s Angel Island ferry to design its all-new hybrid electric vessel, reports that its first fully electric passenger ferry has been launched. Built at the McMullen & Wing shipyard in Auckland, the EVM200 class vessel will operate between downtown Auckland and the suburb of Half Moon Bay.
The vessel is the first of the EVM200 class – a series of battery-electric fast ferries built using lightweight carbon fiber. Designed for urban public transport, the EVM200 offers service speeds of up to 25 knots and a range of up to 20 miles.
Developed with support from the New Zealand Government, the EVM200 platform is part of Auckland Transport’s initiative to transition to a low-emissions ferry fleet. Two vessels will enter service under this program.
