Lehmann Marine Powers 3 Electric Hamburg Ferries | Mariner News

Lehmann Marine has secured a significant contract to supply advanced battery systems for three new electric Hamburg ferries, marking a major step towards sustainable urban maritime transport. These innovative vessels are being built for HADAG Seetouristik und Fährdienst AG and are set to revolutionize passenger services in Germany’s bustling Port of Hamburg. This landmark order underscores the growing momentum for electrification within the marine industry.

Powering Green Maritime Transport

Each of the 30-meter ferries, capable of carrying up to 250 passengers, will be equipped with a 3.8 MWh version of Lehmann Marine’s cutting-edge CUBE battery system. This robust energy storage solution will enable fully emission-free and remarkably quiet operations, significantly reducing the environmental footprint in port service. The ferries are scheduled to commence operations in 2028, promising a cleaner, more pleasant commuting experience.

A Milestone for Urban Electrification

This contract represents Lehmann Marine’s largest order to date and stands as a pivotal project for the broader electrification of urban ferry networks. While fully electric propulsion is ideally suited for short-sea and coastal routes, its successful implementation in Hamburg showcases a viable pathway for greener public transport on water. Such advancements are crucial for achieving ambitious climate goals in maritime operations within confined waterways. This project reinforces the commitment to sustainable shipping and modern marine solutions.
