One of the largest ferry operators in the world, BC Ferries provides year-round vehicle and passenger service on 25 routes to 47 terminals, carrying approximately 9.7 million vehicles and 22.7 million passengers annually<sup>1<\/sup>. Demand on the ferry system is expected to increase as the province\u2019s population is forecast to grow 44 percent<sup>2<\/sup>\u00a0 by 2046.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The hybrid-electric ferries, which will replace four end-of-life vessels, are part of the BC Ferries\u2019 \u2018New Major Vessels\u2019 program, aimed at delivering safe, environmentally sustainable and reliable operations in and around the Strait of Georgia, the body of water separating Vancouver Island from the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. The order was booked in the fourth quarter of 2025. Financial details were not disclosed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Scheduled for delivery beginning in 2029 from China Merchants Industry Weihai (CMI Weihai) Shipyard, the vessels will be equipped with ABB\u2019s gearless, steerable Azipod\u00ae electric propulsion. The system offers proven reliability thanks to significantly fewer moving parts than mechanical thrusters, while the special propeller design helps reduce underwater radiated noise (URN). This helps safeguard at-risk species, such as the Southern Resident killer whale, and preserve one of the world\u2019s most biologically rich marine ecosystems<sup>3<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">ABB\u2019s Onboard DC Grid\u2122 power distribution system will serve as the backbone for efficient energy flow, minimizing conversion losses and enabling higher overall system efficiency and lower emissions than comparable propulsion arrangements.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Each ferry will be equipped to accommodate up to 70 megawatt-hours (MWh) of battery energy storage. This enables efficient hybrid operations today and supports a future shift to fully electric, zero-emission service. The hybrid configuration uses biofuel or renewable diesel and continuously balances energy between generators and batteries. Each vessel can also connect to a high-capacity shore charging system rated above 60 megawatts (MW) for full electric operation. This system is more than 100 times more powerful than the fastest public electric vehicle charging stations in North America, which typically deliver up to 500 kilowatts (kW) per plug. This high-capacity charging supports fast turnaround in port and enables the transition to zero-emission operations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">ABB\u2019s digital solutions will give crews a clear overview of ship operations and support safe, efficient journeys. These digital technologies are intended to help BC Ferries deliver an improved travel experience for passengers while reducing environmental impact.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cBC Ferries\u2019 New Major Vessels represent the largest capital investment in our history and are essential to renewing our fleet, increasing capacity on our busiest routes, and strengthening system resilience,\u201d said Nicolas Jimenez, President &amp; CEO, BC Ferries. \u201cTheir design reflects what our customers value most: comfort, accessibility and environmental stewardship. With diesel-battery hybrid technology that can operate on bio and renewable diesel today and transition to full electrification as infrastructure evolves, these ships are a critical part of building a cleaner, quieter, and more reliable ferry system for the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe proudly support BC Ferries\u2019 goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from their operations, striving to meet British Columbia\u2019s 2030 greenhouse gas emissions reduction target for the transportation sector<sup>4<\/sup>\u00a0by at least 27 percent by 2030, from 2008 levels, in support of a cleaner future for British Columbia, and its ambitions to transition to all-electric operation,\u201d said Rune Braastad, President, ABB\u2019s Marine &amp; Ports division. \u201cABB\u2019s deep roots in Canada make it possible to support generational infrastructure projects like the New Major Vessels.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><sup>1<\/sup><a href=\"https:\/\/j-l-a.us5.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=af149bc1342b1fb5513034e2e&amp;id=3085123528&amp;e=975791c8a9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/j-l-a.us5.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u%3Daf149bc1342b1fb5513034e2e%26id%3D3085123528%26e%3D975791c8a9&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1768332275600000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0FT9JRhCpe4TS7lYho8YVg\">British Columbia Ferry Services Inc.
