The new fleet\u2019s &#8216;test phase&#8217; took a little longer than expected, but one by one the ships will start sailing from this week onwards. Electric catamarans, now that\u2019s a first.

Firstly, the aft deck has definitely been subjected to some significant changes. For starters, it\u2019s much larger than the old water buses. \u201cThis was one particular area we regularly received comments about. Many people like to enjoy the boat trip from the aft deck, but there really wasn\u2019t sufficient room for that.\u201d The aft deck now features benches where travellers can sit down and relax. There\u2019s also more space for cyclists, with charging points.<\/p>\n\n<p>The new-style water bus has been designed with different target groups in mind: commuters, day trippers, cyclists, parents with children. After all, there\u2019s no such thing as an average traveller, according to Schutten. \u201cWe\u2019ve now moved away from the &#8216;airplane setup&#8217;. Research has shown that people generally look for some variation in sitting and standing options.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/aqualiner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Gerbrand-Schutten.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-538\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Laptop<\/h2>\n\n<p>There\u2019s a large, &#8216;lounge-like&#8217; sofa in the centre. \u201cA lovely place to sit down and relax with, for example, a pram or possibly a large bag of shopping. All of this has contributed to everything now being a great deal more informal.\u201d There are also various places to sit on the side, perfect for commuters who want to get a bit of work done on their laptops.<\/p>\n\n<p>A variety of different target groups have been taken into account this time around: wheelchair-accessible toilets, floor markings for the visually impaired and wall shelves for parents who want to change their children.

The fleet also boasts six hybrid ships for the longer connection between Rotterdam and Dordrecht, as the battery isn\u2019t capable of covering this distance as yet. <\/p>\n\n<p>These ships are actually a follow-up to the &#8216;Copenhagen series&#8217;. You can already find Damen\u2019s electric ferries sailing in the Danish capital. However, there are a number of important differences. The Copenhagen ships have a large plug at the front, a &#8216;head charger\u2019 which is automatically pushed into a charging station when the ferry docks with its front facing a stop.   <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/aqualiner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/De-elektrisch-Damen-ferry-in-Kopenhagen.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-542\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Catamarans<\/h2>\n\n<p>However, this charging solution isn\u2019t suitable for the Rijnmond. The current is stronger here, plus the waterways are much busier too. This means the water bus needs to moor alongside. \u201cWe sail straight into the quay in Copenhagen, which is a fairly simple operation. But we sail alongside with our catamarans here and subsequently plug in,\u201d Schutten says. There\u2019s a large charging station at Papendrecht too (costs: 1.5 million euros) where the ships can be charged for a longer period of time.     <\/p>\n\n<p>This series is therefore going to be adapted in line with the Rijnmond\u2019s specific circumstances. &#8220;I can&#8217;t wait for these to be ready to sail. It\u2019s truly going to be a huge leap forward,&#8221; says Schutten.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/aqualiner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/De-nieuwe-waterbus-heeft-ook-meer-ruimte-voor-fietsers-op-het-achterdek.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-543\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ad.nl\/rotterdam\/dit-zijn-ze-dan-de-langverwachte-elektrische-nieuwe-waterbussen~a920310b\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AD\/Dit zijn ze dan: de langverwachte elektrische nieuwe waterbussen<\/a><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column]\n\t\t\t[\/et_pb_row]\n\t\t[\/et_pb_section]","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It may have taken some time, but the first electric water bus &#8211; the Blue Hamburg &#8211; has been sailing in the Rijnmond region since this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":806,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"off","_et_pb_old_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph {\"translatedWithWPMLTM\":\"1\"} -->\n<p><strong>It may have taken some time, but the first electric water bus - the Blue Hamburg - has been sailing in the Rijnmond region since this week.
