Government move closer to striking deal with shipbuilder for new Cook Strait ferries (www.rnz.co.nz)

Each ferry would measure 200 metres in length by 28 metres wide, with room for more than 1500 passengers, 70 crew, and 2.4 kilometres of lanes for trucks, cars and rail wagons.

The vessels would be diesel-electric hybrids with batteries, designed to reduce emissions and environmental impact.

I'm glad the hybrid power train was carried over from the previous design, it means the ferries could potentially do a crossing solely on battery power.

No information on whether they will be a plug in hybrid.

Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?
