In the pink on the Elbe

[ March 7, 2024   //   ]

Container carrier Ocean Network Express (ONE) has moved into the passenger shipping business. It is sponsoring a new hybrid e-ferry which will carry up to 250 passengers across the river Elbe in Hamburg.

It is the first of three ferries to be completed by local public transport company HADAG.

Operating under the temporary name Neubau 212, the vessel is battery powered sailing on electric energy and recharges overnight. But passengers need not worry about being stranded mid-river if the ferry runs out of juice – it can switch to diesel  if need be.
