Bermuda company to launch electric ferries

A Bermuda company expects to deliver in the near future a new class of waterway vessels powered entirely by sustainable energy — vessels envisaged as the next generation of commercial ferries.

Breakthrough technology and preliminary approvals from a number of shipping and municipal organisations had the company on deck just before the pandemic hit.

The Bermuda company, e-Link Commuting Co Ltd, with co-founders Alan Burland and Andrew Vaucrosson, are working with Aspin Kemp & Associates, an energy integration and electrical engineering company with headquarters in Montague, Prince Edward Island, Canada.

Their goal is to make electric-powered water taxis and ferries a reality across the globe. They are collaborating to accelerate net-zero waterway transportation.

The development would put Bermuda on the map for a number of reasons, including another first in maritime expediency (the Bermuda sloop) and a highly developed environmental victory in green energy implementation.
