AxFerries has unveiled plans to convert the archipelago ferry ALFÅGELN into a fully electric, emission-free vessel.

The project includes lengthening and widening the ship to maintain vehicle capacity, modernising the bridge and passenger areas, and adding new manoeuvring systems. The conversion aims to demonstrate the potential for zero-emission operations on short routes in the Åland archipelago and could serve as a pilot for further electrification across the fleet.
