1st UK electric ferry makes a splash in Plymouth

The boat – named e-Voyager – is a refit and conversion with design and development by a consortium that includes Plymouth Boat Trips and Voyager Marine, in partnership with the University of Plymouth, the University of Exeter, Teignbridge Propellers and EVParts UK. Local MP Sheryll Murray oversaw the naming and launching ceremony. The e-Voyager is the first electric boat project from Voyager Marine with the idea that the boat builder and partners will use the experience and knowledge to offer a complete package of design, installation and maintenance of sea going electric vessels.
