This is Ian Godfrey, Development Design Engineer for Teignbridge. He was on onboard with @Plymboattrips last week fitting a doppler velocity log to their Plymouth Princess, aiming to accurately track the speed of the boat through the water. #eboat #evoyager #greenboatdesign

Electric blue for our electric boat!! We love the colour and how reflective the paintwork is, the guys at Voyagerboatyard have done a fantastic job. #evoyager #electricboat #voyagerboatyard #boatdesign #greenboatdesign #eboat #plymouth

Inspired by e-Voyager, Lana Pericic, a student at the University of Plymouth has incorporated coding/visualisation in Unity Game Engine and 3D modelling to focus on the environmental need for the development of fully electric passenger vessels. youtube.com/watch?v=QFFzGj… #evoyager #electricboat

Pushing towards a more sustainable, zero carbon future, the e-Voyager team are busy adding finishing touches to this exciting and ground-breaking project to create the UK’s first sea going electric boat. Launch date is coming! #eboat #zerocarbon #electricboat #launchingsoon

Our pioneering electric boat, e-Voyager has had a full internal renovation, including brand new navigation instruments in a smart new wheelhouse, featuring fly-by-wire system. The future is green! #electricboat #greenenergy #greenboat #zerocarbon #launchingsoon #electricferry

Today we made history! The UK’s first sea going electric vessel e-Voyager has been launched from Voyager Boatyard in Cornwall. Watch BBC Spotlight tonight at 18:30 #zerocarbonfuture #greenenergy #electricboat #zeroemissions #greenmarinedesign #evoyager #launchday #greenfuture

Plymouth Boat Trips and Voyager Marine, Cornwall have launched e-Voyager, the UK’s first sea-going electric ferry. Designed and developed with partners, the green ferry will now undergo rigorous running trials, before carrying passengers on PBT’ ferry routes from April 2021.

e-Voyager was named by MP Sheryll Murray – Conservative MP for South East Cornwall. #zerocarbonfuture #greenenergy #electricboat #zeroemissions #voyagerboatyard #greenmarinedesign #evoyager #launchday #thefutureisgreen #eboat

e-Voyager will be the first vessel to have been recognised by both the MCA and a Classification Society, for satisfying the exacting standards of both organisations. The partners are now progressing to the conversion of larger passenger vessels in Plymouth Boat Trips’ fleet.

⁦Councillor Mark Beynon⁩ Coker on board the first seawater electric ferry , a very special day for water transport and maritime innovation in Plymouth👏 support from a range of partners including ⁦Plymouth City Council⁩ ⁦University of Plymouth⁩ ⁦Plymouth Boat Trips⁩

Love this 🥰

Thank you for coming Sheryll Murray 👏🏻👏🏻

Kerry McCarthy MP, Shadow Minister for Green Transport and Luke Pollard MP Plymouth Sutton & Devonport visited us yesterday! We hope they enjoyed coming out on the water to experience the UK's first sea-going electric ferry! #eboat #electricboat #evoyager #greenmarinedesign

Photovoltaic panels will harness the energy of the sun to operate the onboard domestic services and monitor the electric drive system. Weighing in at 120 kilos the design team is altering the ballast by adding weight to the keel, ensuring the vessel is perfectly balanced.

The data will be compared with that of our new, zero carbon, green vessel e-Voyager and measure environmental improvement. Our vision is to create a fully electric fleet, helping to reduce the greenhouse gases that cause global warming.

Research has shown that manmade noise in our oceans can affect communication and hunting for marine animals. Our move to green , zero carbon vessels is also giving our marine life one less thing to worry about. #evoyager #electricboat #futureisgreen #reducingenginenoise
