enesco Marine recently celebrat-
ed the launch and christening of 
Battery Steele, a 164ʹ, double-end-
ed ferry built at its North Kingstown 
shipyard for Casco Bay Lines of Port-
land, Maine.
Designed by fellow PVA member El-
liott Bay Design Group, Battery Steele 
is a year-round ferry with capacity 
for 599 passengers and 15 vehicles, 
serving the route between Portland 
and Peaks Island. The vessel features 
a battery-powered propulsion sys-
tem supplied by ABB, with primary 
charging at the Portland terminal 
and two Caterpillar C18 generators 
providing backup power. It is the first 
electrically propelled ferry built in 
New England.
The project highlights Senesco Ma-
rine’s expertise in building complex, 
environmentally advanced passenger 
vessels. The launch marks a major 
milestone following extensive struc-
tural fabrication, outfitting, electrical 
integration, and hybrid-system instal-
lation by Senesco’s workforce of more 
than 200 shipbuilders.
The project is funded by the Federal 
Transit Administration and is Buy 
America compliant, underscoring 
Senesco Marine’s commitment to 
U.S. shipbuilding and domestic 
manufacturing.
After final testing and commission-
ing, Battery Steele will enter service in 
Casco Bay Lines’ ferry fleet.
