Energy solutions provider Plan B Energy Storage (PBES) has installed two 1MWh battery systems onboard Fjord1’s new electric ferries that serve the E39 highway route between Anda and Lote in Norway.

Built by Turkey's Tersan Shipyard and designed by Norway-based firm Multi Maritime, Gloppefjord and Eidsfjord are Norway’s latest battery-operated ferries. Each 106-metre vessel can carry 120 vehicles and 349 passengers.

“Anda-Lote is a vital link for Western Norway,” said Grant Brown, vice president of marketing at PBES. “We are extremely happy to have been chosen to supply powerful and reliable PBES batteries for these innovative vessels. PBES remains committed to providing the best quality, Norwegian-built energy storage for the ferry industry.”
