Echandia has secured an order for the delivery of battery systems to a Northern European ferry operator. The order involves converting two RoPax ferries to pure electric propulsion and is Echandia’s largest to date, both in terms of value and system size. Delivery is planned for the second half of 2025.
Earlier this month, Echandia was contracted by Öresundslinjen to provide a battery system for the conversion of Hamlet from fossil fuel to full electrical operation.
