Stena Jutlandica ferry Wiki
Stena Jutlandica was the first of two sister-ships (the second is Isle of Inishmore, IRISH FERRIES) built by the Dutch shipyard Van der Giessen de Noord. When launched in March 1996, the ship was Europe's largest RoRO-Pax ship (car and passenger ferry).
The ship is powered by four MAN marine diesel engines (model LV48-60, total power output 25,9 MW). Its propulsion system includes two bow thrusters (made by Kamewa / Rolls Royce) and two controllable pitch propellers. The ferry also has a total of 600 m (1970 ft) of rail tracks (4 tracks) allowing it to load railway wagons on its main deck (accessible via the stern door).
In 2018, ferry's propulsion was upgraded with batteries (total capacity 50 MWh). The new battery power equipment was provided and installed by Callenberg Technology Group (a subsidiary of Trident Maritime Systems). The technology allows the ship to cruise on battery power for approx 90 km / 60 ml (the distance between Goteborg and Frederikshavn). Battery power is used by the bow thrusters, and mainly while maneuvering in port for berthing. Extended battery operations include the propellers when the ship can run on electricity for around 20 lm / 10 ml.
Ship's battery power is based on plug-in hybrid technology. Batteries are generally charged in port (when the boat uses shore power supply) but can be also charged by the onboard diesel generators.
