Arriva Danmark has taken delivery of five new ferries in a series ordered from Damen Shipyards Group.
The 26-metre ferries will all run on electric propulsion and will be able to transport up to 80 passengers. The vessels may also be configured for remote monitoring wherein factors such as sailing patterns and battery life cycle could be monitored in real-time from a dedicated shore station.
Arriva will operate the ferries along Copenhagen's inland waterways on behalf of Danish public transport agency Movia.
