This is such fantastic news!
On the Sydney waterway, the River class and Parramatta River class currently run on Scania diesel motors. However, they've been designed specifically with retrofitting battery-electric systems. I am very hopeful that as the motors reach the end of their service life in the next couple of years that they make the leap to electric.
The ferry will go to the Rio de la Plata to connect Argentina and Uruguay.
