Norway has taken a leading position in the change to renewable energy, and the ‘MF Folgefonn’ was the world’s first plug-in hybrid ferry.
Wartsila technology was used in this project and the vessel has been featured as a demonstration of the possibilities this technology creates. The Norwegian ferry fleet is now undergoing a major renewal, and during the next few years it is envisioned that more than 30 new ferries will be built with either fully electric or plug-in hybrid propulsion.
