Electric propulsion now dominates global ferry orders, with 70% of new vessels featuring batteries. Already operating on about 200 ferries worldwide, this shift to batteries means reduced emissions and lower maintenance costs. Thanks to a 5-8 year payback period, most fleet operators have now developed electric retrofit plans, signalling an irreversible transformation.
