Cochin Shipyard building autonomous electric vessels for Norwegian company

26 Nov 2020 Evaluate

Cochin Shipyard is building two autonomous electric vessels with zero carbon emission for a Norwegian company. The production of the vessels began with a plate-cutting ceremony organised virtually at the company. The two vessels are being built for ASKO Maritime AS, Norway. The company signed contracts for construction and supply of the two autonomous electric ferries for the Norwegian company with an option to build two more identical vessels in July 15 this year.

This project is an ambitious one in Norway partially funded by the Norwegian government aimed at emission-free transport of goods across the Oslo fjords. Once in operation, the vessels would create a new benchmark for the merchant shipping world in the field of autonomous vessels with zero carbon emission. It further said the 67-metre-long vessels would initially be delivered as a full-electric transport ferry powered by 1846 kWh capacity battery.

Cochin Shipyard is the first Greenfield and presently the most modern shipbuilding and ship repair yard in India. The company caters to clients engaged in India’s defence segment and global commercial shipping sector.
