Enova, a Norwegian government enterprise, has decided to support seven electric vessels and four charging facilities with NOK 362 million (about \u20ac31.6 million).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Among the projects that will benefit from the funding is what could be \u201cthe world\u2019s largest\u201d<\/em> battery-electric containership, a breakthrough for emission-free shipping. <\/p>\n

Eitzen Avanti is one of the companies receiving NOK 200 million in funding for a pioneering project to build two battery-powered ships to transport containers between Norway, Sweden and Germany. The ships will have battery packs of over 100 MWh and will be able to carry 850 containers. <\/p>\n

\u201cEach of these projects demonstrates in its own way what is possible with battery electrification in shipping. The technology is now mature and the projects are available,\u201d<\/em> Andreas Forsnes Jahn<\/strong>, Senior Advisor in Maritime Transport at Enova, commented. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf the electrification of car ferries was the first wave, we hope that this will be the start of the second wave of electrification in short sea shipping,\u201d<\/em> he added. <\/p>\n

The Port of Oslo is also receiving NOK 20.6 million in support for a charging facility for ships at the container terminal at Sjurs\u00f8ya. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Port of Oslo\u2019s vision is to be the world\u2019s most efficient and environmentally friendly city port. Enova\u2019s support is a very important contribution to realizing Oslo\u2019s and the port\u2019s ambitious climate goals,\u201d<\/em> Ingvar M. Mathisen<\/strong>, Port Director at the Port of Oslo, highlighted.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Eitzen Group sees great potential in the electrification of regional shipping. Battery prices have decreased by over 80% in the last decade and will continue to fall as demand increases worldwide. Like a train that cannot be stopped, the use of electric ships will force itself forward as the most cost-effective way to transport goods at sea over time<\/strong>,\u201d <\/em>Fridtjof C. Eitzen<\/strong>, CEO of the Eitzen Group, said. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are pleased and very grateful that ENOVA and the Port of Oslo share this vision in a forward-looking manner. Their support and cooperation are crucial to realizing the project and an important first step towards scaling electric at sea.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

Polar Energy Shipco has also won Enova support for an all-electric bulk carrier<\/strong> that will transport minerals along the Norwegian coast. With rotor sails and battery packs of over 20 MWh, the ship will be able to operate fully electric. <\/p>\n

In addition, GC Rieber Minerals will receive support for a charging facility at Laksev\u00e5gneset. <\/p>\n

Brim Explorer receives support for two battery-electric vessels<\/strong> that will operate between \u00c5lesund and Geiranger, among other things. The ships have a number of innovative energy efficiency measures and will have battery packs of approximately 3 MWh. <\/p>\n

Lovundlaks receives support for two electric workboats<\/strong>, as well as two dedicated charging facilities at its land bases.<\/p>\n

The measures are estimated to cut 20,836 tons of CO\u2082 equivalents annually, Enova concluded.<\/p>\n
