Explore how Echandia battery systems perform in demanding day-to-day service, with real projects, vessel types, and results from operators around the world.
In 2020, a new fleet of electric commuter ferries was introduced in Copenhagen, setting a global benchmark for emission-free public transport on water. To meet the demanding requirements of inner-city passenger operations, Echandia was selected to supply the maritime battery system enabling safe, reliable, and fully electric propulsion.
In 2026, San Francisco Bay Ferry will introduce the United States’ first fully electric, high-speed, high-capacity ferry fleet as part of the Rapid Electric Emission Free (REEF) program. The project represents a major milestone for zero-emission maritime transport in North America.
In June 2025, Molslinjen introduced Nerthus, a fully electric RoPax ferry serving the route between Ballen on Samsø and Kalundborg in Denmark. The vessel is the first of two new electrified ferries commissioned by Molslinjen and built at Cemre Shipyard in Turkey.
Scandlines, one of Northern Europe’s leading ferry operators, has taken a major step toward zero-emission operation by converting two of its RoPax ferries into plug-in hybrids. The vessels are being retrofitted with Echandia Ultra battery systems, enabling up to 80% electric operation per crossing, with diesel propulsion retained only as backup.
Echandia is delivering advanced energy storage systems for naval frigates commissioned by European NATO member countries. The orders include an initial contract for four vessels, followed by an additional order for two more, confirming Echandia’s position as a trusted long-term partner in the electrification of the maritime defense sector.
The M/S Hamlet, operated by Öresundslinjen, makes up to 8,000 crossings per year between Helsingør and Helsingborg, serving one of Northern Europe’s busiest ferry routes. The vessel is now undergoing a complete retrofit, transitioning from fossil fuel dependency to fully battery-electric operation.
