Glosten has introduced a new all-electric 75-passenger ferry which the company says rep-resents a new standard in sustainable marine mobility. Engineered with a lightweight carbon fiber hull, it achieves outstanding energy efficiency—requiring smaller batteries and reducing reliance on extensive shoreside charging infrastructure.
For operational flexibility, the battery compartments are positioned on the main deck to ensure the battery type and capacity can be installed that best match the operator’s needs. This layout also simplifies access for inspections and maintenance and allowing for a hydrodynamically superior hull form. The interior layout supports a wide range of service needs while maintaining a strong focus on crew comfort and control. The configuration helps operators manage costs without compromising performance or sustainability. Excellent visibility, access to critical spaces, and passenger management for a crew of just two are highlights of the layout.
Dual azimuthing thrusters offer precise maneuverability through intuitive joystick controls. The composite construction not only delivers a sleek, modern look but also minimizes cor-rosion and long-term upkeep over a 30+ year service life.
