The ferry industry is characterised by a vast array of dramatically different ship configurations and operating profiles, all of which require their own unique approach to decarbonisation. In our ship types chapter we take a closer look at developments in the RoRo, RoPax, high-speed and commuter ferry subsegments.
The chapter provides an overview of each segment and how decarbonisation is being addressed in each of them before going on to examine noteworthy customer reference cases that Wärtsilä is involved in.
We examine the rising popularity of dual-fuel engines in hybrid propulsion setups in the RoRo and RoPax sectors, discuss future-fuel approaches with LNG, and take a look at projects where Wärtsilä technologies such as waterjets have been applied to deliver exceptional fuel efficiency, reliability, and performance.
This comprehensive white paper explains the three key pathways to decarbonisation, with real-world examples and actionable steps for ferry operators. Download it to learn how to reduce emissions, control costs, and stay competitive even when regulations tighten.
