The second of two new electric ferries for Molslinjen put into production
FerryCemre Shipyard, together with representatives from Molslinjen, started the construction of Samsølinjen’s new electric ferry with a traditional steel cut ceremony.
The OSK-ShipTech-designed all-electric ferry will be 116.8 metres long, have a capacity for 600 passengers and 188 cars and will serve the Ballen - Kalundborg route in Denmark.
It will be prepared for autonomous sailing between ports – with automatic docking and charging at the quay and will have Echandia batteries with a 3.8 MWh capacity which can be fully charged in 20-25 minutes.
Samsølinjen’s ferry is planned to be ready for operation in December 2024.
Cemre is also building a sistership destined for Alslinjen with a slightly smaller battery capacity at 3.1 MWh due to the shorter Fynshav – Bøjden route it will operate. The is planned to be ready for operation in September 2024.
