Royal Van der Leun is responsible for the electrical installation, including engineering and automation, for the largest 3D-printed autonomous ferry ever!
The innovative passenger ferry will be used on the Seine river during major sport events in the summer of 2024, providing eco-friendly transportation for athletes and visitors.
For position and course determination, lidar, cameras, and RTK-GPS are used, making a captain excessive and enabling the ferry to operate fully autonomously.
In addition, the ferry is fully electric. With the power for charging the batteries supplied by a hydrogen-powered generator on shore.
Mooring and charging are automated using contactless charging.
Efficient engineering, cabling, and our own power management system will play a crucial role in maximizing power usage on board.
