Schottel has secured a contract to supply full propulsion packages for three new LNG bunkering vessels under construction at Nantong CIMC Sinopacific Offshore & Engineering (SOE) in China.
Since entering service in 2015, the MF Ampere—believed to be the world’s first fully electric ferry—has now sailed a distance equivalent to 17 times around the equator on batteries alone, according to Norway-based energy storage company Corvus Energy.
