The march toward zero-emission ferry transportation continues, and this time the momentum is coming from the Baltic.Estonian State Fleet has signed a contract with Polish shipbuilder CRIST S.A. for the design and construction of what will become Estonia’s first fully electric passenger ferry, a nearly €50 million investment that underscores how aggressively regional ferry operators are moving to modernize aging fleets while cutting emissions.Set for delivery in late 2028, the 100-meter vessel will serve the Virtsu–Kuivastu route, a lifeline connection between mainland Estonia and its islands.

BATTERIES: FleetZero aims to Help Rewrite the Rules of Marine Power
Michael Carter and Steven Henderson grew up together in North Carolina, attended the United States Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) together, and most recently jointly founded Fleet Zero, a company aiming to develop modular, containerized battery technology for electrifying cargo ships. As of the interview, the company has raised about $60 million in funding, it employs 40 people, it recently opened a new manufacturing/R&D facility in Houston where it is targeting to produce 300 MW hours of batteries this year.There’s a familiar narrative in maritime: an industry steeped in tradition, slow to change, and cautious when it comes to new technology.
