When ferry operator WSA Nord-Ostsee-Kanal decided to update its fleet of canal ferries in the the German province of Schleswig-Holstein, Volvo Penta electric marine solutions were the obvious choice. With the latest in fuel-efficient low emissions engines and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) after-treatment system, the choice was Volvo Penta EU marine Stage V complete Diesel Electric.
Like many regions throughout the world, the province of Schleswig-Holstein has embraced the need for investment in green technologies. It was subsequently of little surprise that when it came time to upgrade their fleet of 11 inland waterway ferries that WSA Nord-Ostsee-Kanal wanted to go electric and chose to be powered by Volvo Penta.
Opting for support of the latest in emission controlled gensets for complete Diesel Electric operation Volvo Penta was able to offer and deliver the most compact and efficient IWW stage V certified Diesel Electric solution in the market. For ferry operator WSA Nord-Ostsee-Kanal, the obvious choice was Volvo Penta D8-MH EU Stage V.
