    That does make more sense. I know we have a hybrid ferry in Portsmouth but I think it is more designed to reduce emissions right next to the city and then charge up on the main engines while crossing. Not that it ever gets more than a few miles from land but I suppose its slightly better.

      well you made the 10 hour claim calculation :) 10 hours ain’t long. it takes about 3 weeks from Asia to Europe shortest route. 24/7. so a 10 hour journey limits that usage ;) I seem to remember from Bremer Hafen to Hamburg it easily can take 6-10 hours. due to waiting and traffic. so it will be short harbor routes for sure ;)

        10h is based on the article for the energy stored and the energy used by the motors. But it would be if the motors are running at 100%
