Project FUSE – electrification of short sea shipping

Rauma Marine Constructions has lead an R&D consortium studiyng the technical and economical feasibility of building and operating a fully electric ro-pax vessel on short sea shipping routes. The case study concentrated on the Helsinki-Tallinn route and also studied other possible routes within northern Europe. The results of the study are very encouraging and feasibility has been found on dozens of routes across Europe. Harbor charging infrastructure and green electricity availability were also considered.
