Thread: Cook Strait Ferry

Aussie just built two new ferries for Tassie to Melbourne run for nothing like the price these were going to cost. Wartsila mains that could run on duel fuel, the cost of this project so far to achieve absolutely nothing would have paid for half of one, about 400 mil per vessel.
Nothing wrong with diesel electric vessels, but the hybrids with batteries are just an expensive joke and don't make sense in a ship. Cars they work ok.
