Battery-powered electric ferry service to connect Spain and Morocco


The first-ever ‘green’ ferry service carrying passengers from mainland Spain to Morocco has been announced by Spanish operator Baleària.

“This is a pioneering and technologically advanced public-private project that will enable us, for the first time ever, to run the entire route using only electric energy and, therefore, zero emissions,” said Baleària’s president, Adolfo Utor. The US justice department has said that Grace Ocean and Synergy Marine, the Singaporean companies that owned and operated the Motor Vessel (MV) Dali container ship, have agreed to pay $102m to resolve a civil claim arising from the destruction of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. A report from the Sea Cargo Charter reveals that the shipping industry fell behind minimum international climate goals by 17% on average in 2023 – a shortfall of 165 million metric tonnes of CO2e.
