Project Battery Electric

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

Norwegian maritime leader continues its voyage toward green propulsion. Bostek will develop the first small ferry battery electric propulsion system capable of running at 500 kW. The new propulsion system will be highly efficient and reliable, and it will fit into low- and high-speed vessels. Its success will provide the proof needed to gain greater greener speed in Norwegian waters. Building green marine technology requires strong collaboration to achieve great innovation. In this project, Bostek will forge new lines of communication with ship designers, suppliers and maritime clusters, including NCE iKuben and Maritime CleanTech. Better collaboration will create new operating philosophies, set standards for maneuvering and charging systems, and set the stage for greater collaborations. The project with SkatteFUNN support will increased Norwegian eco-innovative capacity and electric vessels through analysis, collaborations, and experimentation.
