Incat Crowther is developing a hydrogen fuel cell-electric ferry for New York, collaborating with SWITCH Maritime. The 28-meter vessel will transport 150 passengers at a cruising speed of 25 knots and has a hydrogen storage capacity of 720 kg.

It is designed to operate for a full day while maintaining service speeds similar to diesel vessels, ensuring seamless integration into existing operations. The project is backed by a $2 million grant from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and will include a ZEF-150 demonstration vessel based at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The ferry aims to support emissions reduction in maritime transport.
