“C-Job, at its core, is a key player in sustainable ship design, worldwide. Sharing the same values with them, naturally led to this cooperation.”
C-Job has already delivered an initial design of the ferry to Saronic Ferries.
The vessel will be capable of accommodating 800 passengers. It will be equipped with fully electric propulsion and incorporate other energy-saving solutions.

By GlobalDataThe Ro-Pax ferry will recharge itself in the port of Piraeus.
C-Job Athens director Nikos Papapanagiotou said: “We’re proud to have been chosen as partner to Saronic Ferries to develop their zero-emission ferry and support their sustainable ambitions.
“We’ve been researching alternative fuels and energy sources for nearly a decade and have applied this knowledge and other innovations to our designs.”
The ferry will join Saronic Ferries’ fleet in 2026. It is expected to operate between Piraeus and the islands of Aegina and Agistri.
Recently, Norwegian ferry operator Norled received the second of three identical battery-operated Ro-Pax ferries from Sembcorp Marine.
