When travelling on a ferry, passengers have high demands in terms of comfort. Vessels like the electrical car ferry Ampere cruises the open sea almost without a noise – the perfect vessel to relax and enjoy your ride. Not only the passengers, also the staff benefits from electric propulsion systems as they provide excellent dynamic response from zero to maximum propeller speed. Increased safety because of improved maneuverability contributes to a comfortable operation of the ship.
There are also benefits regarding to design arrangements on board. The modular construction of a diesel-electric propulsion system permits a flexible location of on board units leading to more available space, and a new freedom for optimum design of the vessel. Silently sailing across the waters with maximum speed and beautiful exterior design – what more can a ferry passenger wish for?
