"This diesel ferry could be among the last of its kind rolling out of the dry
docks of Hobart.
A new, ambitious venture is taking shape.
This is no ordinary ferry. Weighing in at 2,000 tonnes and spanning 130 metres,
it can host 2,100 passengers and 225 cars.
And its beating heart will be a giant system of batteries.
As the world moves away from fossil fuels, this Tasmanian shipbuilder is
betting that electric ferries are the future.
It’s the first project of that scale anywhere in the world. But they believe
it’s just the beginning."
