Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS (Minister of Energy and Resources): The Government recently announced a $27 million investment for two new fully electric ferries for commuters and sightseers to travel on. Auckland Transport will trial across various major inner-and mid-harbour services once they launch in 2024. The ferries will have a 200-person capacity, space for bikes, a top speed of 25 knots, and a range of 40 kilometres. Two electric fast ferries, and associated wharf infrastructure, will be built in Aotearoa New Zealand by EV Maritime and McMullen and Wing.
