New Eco Ferry Design

BMT ‘Eco Ferry’ Sports BAE Systems Hybrid Drive

BMT launched a new hybrid ferry design, the 31m, the 149-pas- senger ‘Eco Ferry’ with a top speed of 20 knots. “Greener ferry systems have to be the future and we’re extremely excited to be 4 launching this new hybrid design,” said John Bonafoux, MD,

BMT. “In our recent case study of an example river commute in

New York, the ‘Eco Ferry’ engines are completely off for 63% of the time. That’s a huge saving on fuel consumption and emis- sions, not to mention engine hours and maintenance.” BMT has recent hybrid experience gained in several superyacht projects, experience it leveraged for this project.. Working in collabora- tion with BAE Systems, the Eco Ferry uses the ‘Hybrid-Drive’ system. When the upper end of power is needed, the diesel en- gines are there to support, keeping the batteries topped up at the same time – all of this happening seamlessly and automatically.

The vessel’s 160kWh ESS (energy storage system) can also be further charged while alongside and by a solar array on the boat.
