DNV wants to draw on its Nordic experience with electric-powered ships to help modernise Greece’s ageing ferry fleet.
About a third of the 240 ferries plying Norwegian waters currently operate on batteries and the target is to fully electrify the fleet by 2026.
There’s no reason why Greece, one of the world’s biggest passenger shipping markets, should not start moving in that direction, senior DNV executives said in a news conference on Friday as the Norwegian classification society celebrated entering its second century of doing business in Greece.
