Estonia’s Planned Island Electric Ferry Reaches Model-Testing Milestone

On 16 October, ERR reported that a scale model of Estonia’s planned electric ferry for island connections had completed testing in Germany, reaching 14 knots against a 12-knot requirement. The reported planned project value is €49.93 million; this is the project’s stated value, not a newly announced award during the reporting week. Ferry operators, marine engineering firms and energy-system suppliers can explore opportunities in vessel design, charging infrastructure and operational optimisation. HPC can support engineering analytics and project monitoring; no separate HPC contract price was announced.
