The idea behind the hybrid ships is that they can run on liquefied natural gas (a fossil fuel), battery power or a combination of the two.
Brittany Ferries said the Saint-Malo vessel would have a battery capacity of 11.5 megawatt hours,"approximately double that typically used for hybrid propulsion in marine vessels."

In a statement Tuesday, the company said the Saint-Malo vessel would have a battery capacity of 11.5 megawatt hours. This, the firm added, was"approximately double that typically used for hybrid propulsion in marine vessels."
Brittany Ferries said the ship is set to be delivered in 2024. A second hybrid will join its fleet shortly after, traveling between Portsmouth and Caen. Stay informed during the severe weather season with our local news and weather app. Get the NBC 5 Chicago app for
