ABB has selected Öresund Dry Docks for the electrification of two HH Ferries’ vessels. Named M/F Tycho Brahe and M/F Aurora, the two ferries will be fitted with batteries, an energy storage control system, and Onboard DC Grid technology for emission-free operations.
Tycho Brahe will enter the dry-dock for the conversion in April 2016, while Aurora will undergo the transformation in October 2016.

The two ferries will be powered by rechargeable batteries and will operate on a 4km-long route between Helsingør (Denmark) and Helsingborg (Sweden), transporting more than 7.4 million passengers and 1.9 million vehicles a year.
The automated shore-side charging stations at the origin and destination points will charge the ferries, curbing total emissions by more than 50%.
