Urker Innovation Enables Partial Electrification of Ferries to Terschelling
NATURAL GAS
Shipbuilding in Harlingen is retrofitting Rederij Doeksen's ferries, the Willem de Vlamingh and Willem Barentsz, to be partially electric. The vessels, already using LNG, will feature permanent magnet motors for battery charging and a new energy management system.
This project enhances maneuverability and safety, with a dedicated fireproof battery room. Collaboration with Urk companies ensures efficient communication and engineering.
