Hybrid ferry

Hybrid ferries combine multiple sources of power (for example, traditional diesel with electric battery power), resulting in reductions in fossil fuel consumption, carbon emissions and other pollutants.

Examples

Clyde

Three hybrid roll-on/roll-off ferries are in operation on the west coast of Scotland. They were launched between December 2012[1] and December 2015.[2][3]

Alcatraz

When changing to hybrid ferries, Alcatraz has reduced carbon dioxide emissions by an estimated 700 thousand pounds. It does so by drawing power from a photovoltaic system that uses 959 photovoltaic panels that are located on the cell house roof power on the island. The ferry has its own photovoltaic panel and wind turbine on top that helps power the vessel.[4]

Washington

Washington State Ferries plans to introduce 22 diesel-electric ferries by 2040, cutting its annual diesel use from 19 to 9.5 million gallons.[5]

The New York Hornblower

The New York Hornblower is powered by diesel, hydrogen fuel cells, AGM batteries, and wind and solar energy. The ferry is designed to carry 600 passengers with an operating speed at 12 knots. It operates a round trip between Battery Park, Ellis Island, and Liberty Island, also functioning as a harbor tour boat and a dinner cruise boat.[6]

gollark: No, Wojbie, kristshop is still WIP eternally.
gollark: I think it ought to be possible to implement the ender sparkles too, with additions, assuming you don't mind some extra equipment.
gollark: Pyramids and cubes also available.
gollark: I mean, it loses the whole "scarcity" thing of actual eggs, but hey, it looks cool.
gollark: The new versions even come with a sort of partial reimplementation of the rightclick-and-it-teleports feature (it disappears on rightclick).
