EST-Floattech has announced the completion of both the delivery and commissioning of battery systems onboard the brand-new fully electric waste tanker RASA, as well as two electric-hybrid pilot boats.
All three vessels have now been delivered to the Port of Klaipėda by Baltic Workboats, marking a major milestone in the transition toward sustainable and future-proof port operations across the Baltic region.
The vessels aim to combine proven maritime engineering with advanced electric and hybrid propulsion technologies, supporting the Port of Klaipėda’s ambition to reduce emissions, improve operational efficiency and modernise its fleet for long-term environmental performance.
EST-Floattech supplied a 2 MWh Octopus Series battery system for the RASA, allowing the vessel to operate for up to 10 hours without charging and ensuring performance throughout full working shifts.
Walter van der Pennen, CCO at EST-Floattech, said:Projects like WT RASA demonstrate that even vessels with demanding heavy-duty duty cycles can successfully transition to zero-emission operations when the energy storage system is designed accordingly.
Reliability and predictability are crucial for any vessel, but especially essential for harbour operations. We are proud that our Octopus Series battery technology contributes to the efficient and emission-free performance every day.
