Our solution in action

Singapore’s first pure electric ferry: Electric Dream

 A milestone in Singapore’s maritime decarbonization roadmap was marked by the country’s first fully electric commercial service that was launched a year ago by Singapore's homegrown aluminum craft specialist Penguin International Limited. Dubbed the Electric Dream, one of the key partners for the realization of the project was Danish multinational engineering group, Danfoss. At present in its fully operational state, three fully electric commuter ferries powered by three rapid DC shore chargers transport around 3,000 people a day between the mainland and Pulau Bukom island.

From power to performance: A new era of marine efficiency

Recently commissioned in New Zealand, this electric passenger catamaran combines Danfoss technologies to support efficient and reliable operation.

The vessel features four propulsion lines powered by Danfoss Editron electric motors, supported by a DC power plant consisting of 24 battery systems and two diesel generators.
