Royal Van der Leun is pleased to announce we received the order for the complete engineering, integration, and delivery of the full electrical package for an fully electrical ferry.
This includes everything from system integration and main switchboards to energy management systems, alarm monitoring systems, and e-motors
German ferry operator AG Reederei Norden-Frisia is making great strides in sustainability with its latest addition to the fleet. The company has partnered with Damen Shipyards to design and deliver a 32-meter full electric ferry that will carry 150 passengers and provide a speed of 16 knots.
To further support the vessel's sustainability, AG Reederei Norden-Frisia has also invested in a jetty charger pontoon, which will be responsible for supplying charging power to the ferry. Royal Van der Leun was also commissioned for the complete engineering, integration, and delivery of the electrical package for the jetty charger pontoon.The new ferry will be classed by Lloyd's Register (LR).
In 1920, Jan Cornelis van der Leun opened his shop at the harbor of Sliedrecht. Radios and electric lighting were still new and remarkable at the time. What began with providing light and sound soon grew into creating solutions for the shipping industry and the emerging dredging sector.
That hands-on, problem-solving mentality is still at the heart of our work today.
Stores are constantly evolving: new concepts, updated interiors and smarter technologies. But who makes sure all those plans are actually carried out behind the scenes?
In 2025, Royal van der Leun is responsible for the maintenance and renovation of over 500,000 m² of retail space across the Netherlands. A task that goes far beyond simply pulling new cables.
From June 24 to 26, 2025, Royal Van der Leun will be present at the Electric & Hybrid Marine Expo Europe at RAI Amsterdam. At this leading trade fair in the maritime sector, we will showcase our latest solutions in intelligent electrical systems and sustainable innovation.
