Berlin has a new battery-powered special vessel for water monitoring. It runs mainly on electricity. The e-catamaran built at Bolle was christened »James Hobrecht«. The vessel replaces the 60-year-old diesel-powered service vessel »Glienicke«. The »James Hobrecht« will be used on the capital's waters for water sampling and measuring trips. According to the state, the vessel can complete an entire day shift without recharging the battery. By operating the latest vessel and taking the diesel-powered »Glienicke« out of service, the state of Berlin aims to avoid emissions of around 11.2 tons of CO_2 equivalents per year. The e-catamaran is 14 m long, 4.20 m wide, with a draft of 0.85 m and a total weight of 20 tons. The electric propulsion system with two 50 kW ring propellers is powered by a 385 kWh battery. |
