The world’s largest BEV Ship has Entered Service
The "China Zorrilla" has begun scheduled operations. The 130-meter electric ferry transports thousands of passengers and cars across the Río de la Plata, between 🇦🇷Argentina and 🇺🇾 Uruguay.
Measuring 130 meters in length and with a capacity for 2,100 passengers and 225 vehicles, the "China Zorrilla" is the world’s largest electric ship. The ferry commenced commercial operations just a few days ago.
It carries people and goods across the Río de la Plata between Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay, a journey of approximately 50 kilometers. The vessel is operated by the shipping company Buquebus and was built by the Australian firm Incat Tasmania.
The "China Zorrilla" functions as a standard ferry for passengers and vehicles, but without the conventional diesel propulsion system. Its energy storage system has a capacity of over 40 megawatt-hours.
Everything will be electrified - including the maritime sector.
