Incat electric ferry waiting in Hobart as heavy-lift transporter is stuck in Strait of Hormuz

The world’s largest electric ferry is sitting idle in Tasmania because the heavy-lift ship that was booked to take it to South America is stuck in the Strait of Hormuz.

The electric ferry has a 90-minute travel range, which is enough for its planned passenger service, but not enough to travel across the Pacific to its new home.
