Power Update: The Battery Giants (and a Pioneer)

May 9, 2025

Last week, we published the “Battery MWh Top 5”, but we mistakenly omitted HINNØY, the latest ferry from Torghatten Nord. We have now also included CHINA ZORRILLA, which is scheduled for delivery later this year.

Just look at AMPÈRE, the first electric ferry, equipped with only 1 MWh of batteries!

  1. CHINA ZORILLA – 42MWh (Buquebus)
  2. AURORA BOTNIA – 12.6 MWh (Wasaline)
  3. GUILLAUME DE NORMANDIE / SAINT-MALO – Stena E-Flexer – 12.0 MWh (Brittany Ferries)
  4. FUTURA – 10 MWh (Scandlines)
  5. HINNØY – 9.6 MWh (Torghatten Nord)
  6. HAVILA CAPELLA / CASTOR – 6.1 MWh (Havila Voyages)
  7. COLOR HYBRID – 4.7 MWh (Color Line)
  8. AMPERE – 1 MWh (Norled)
