A Leap Forward in Ferry Propulsion

Sea Transport Corporation sign agreement to market
thermodynamic fuel systems


In an environmental first, it has been recently proven thermodynamic system will be implemented in Sea Transport Solutions medium speed ropax catamaran ferry designs. In an agreement signed, Sea Transport will deal together exclusively on a global basis.

This electrical storage system allows ferries to operate fully for a day with zero emissions and without the need for replenishment of the storage system. The overnight electrical recharge can be done with cheap night rate power or wind farm sources.

According to Sea Transport’s CEO Dr. Stuart Ballantyne, this will reduce the fuel cost of operating a day ferry by up to 70% which is in many operations the highest cost component. At the same time this system eliminates all emissions from the vessel. Other systems he acknowledged eliminate the SOX and NOx components but this system eliminates all emissions and the dependency on imported oil.

“Further significant advantages are gained with the elimination of raw water engine cooling systems, exhausts, fuel tanks, fuel piping, noise and vibration”, said Dr. Ballantyne. “It is a game changer! We have our designs all around the world with clients that have expressed an interest in this exciting development.”

Dr Patrick Glynn, who has headed up the technology, said that the cells have almost unlimited life (in excess of 40 years) and are 90% recyclable. Proof of concept was finalised in Australia during January 2016.
