First passenger on board

The Modern Hybrid Double Ended Ferry ELEKTRA (project no. P310), second battery ferry in Europe, was ordered by FinFerries at shipyard Crist. The ferry operates the road between Parainen and Nauvo in Finland and is ready for transport 90 cars and 372 passengers. ELEKTRA’s power source consists primarily of batteries that are charged with shore power each time the vessel calls to port. In addition to the batteries, the ferry runs on back-up diesel power that can be use in such circumstances as challenging ice conditions or in the case of a power cut.
