BMT has unveiled its new 140ft (42m) 100% electrical EF-500 passenger ferry design on the International WorkBoat Show in New Orleans.
Featuring a 500-passenger and four-crew capability, the zero-emission vessel is tailor-made to fulfill the rising demand for hybrid or all-electric ferry choices within the area.
The newly unveiled all-electric ferry boasts a low wake hull, that includes a easy, simply constructible design with a light-weight and sturdy aluminum construction. Its capabilities embrace a spread of 1 hour at 18 knots or 40 minutes at a prime velocity of 20 knots, making it an environment friendly alternative for larger passenger capability alongside coastal and restricted service routes.
