EV Maritime will be at the expo to present its EVM200 battery electric fast ferry, the first of which has recently been launched in New Zealand.

This 78ft catamaran passenger ferry is the first of two vessels destined for commuter public transit in the harbor city of Auckland.

The platform design approach offers the confidence of a proven engineering package with the flexibility to adapt to suit a wide range of operations.

The vessels feature fully engineered electrical and mechanical systems within a high-efficiency low-wash hull form. A quad waterjet driveline delivers outstanding maneuverability and reliability.

The Auckland vessels are side loading with midships doors providing access into a spacious, fully enclosed main deck with seating for 200 passengers, racking for up to 10 bikes, three heads (including one ADA accessible) and a small kiosk serving barista coffee, tea, beer, wine

and sodas. Alternative layouts are available, with single or twin decks, variable indoor/outdoor space allocations, bow or side loading, variable freeboard and air draft options.

EV Maritime is also developing a 64ft hybrid ferry for San Francisco Bay’s Angel Island Tiburon Ferry, as well as both 100-passenger and 400-passenger electric ferry platforms.
