This project highlights the strength of the Swedish maritime and technology ecosystem, where new technologies can be developed and become competitive in a global market. Gotland Horizon X builds on a long tradition of combining innovation with continuous fleet development. This led us to search for an Energy Storage System that is both safe and fully flexible, while also providing a long-lasting lifecycle. With Echandia’s battery system, we gain flexibility to continuously optimize operations as we learn from real-world use. Our ambition is not only to reduce emissions, but to build vessels that can evolve over time.
Jonas Moberg, Head of Newbuildings, Gotlandsbolaget
We are proud that Gotlandsbolaget has chosen Echandia as a partner in their continued transition toward more sustainable maritime ferry operations. Our battery is well suited to these hybrid applications, where flexibility in cycling and power outtake is required. Gotlandsbolaget will be able to evolve the operational profile over time as they identify best practices for this specific vessel.
Torbjörn Bäck, CEO, Echandia
Customers are asking tougher questions about operational proof and lifetime economics. And rightly so. The next generation of Echandia Ultra is our answer to that market reality. It is built for repeated high-power operation, straightforward integration and dependable performance over time. The Copenhagen ferries show what that looks like in practice: zero-emission operation that keeps to schedule, year after year.
Torbjörn Bäck, CEO, Echandia
In high-cycle ferry operations, every minute matters. You need fast charging, stable power delivery and a system architecture that remains manageable for both shipyard and operator. Echandia Ultra is engineered for exactly that operating reality. By combining LTO chemistry with an air-cooled design, we can deliver stable performance over time while helping customers simplify integration and support higher uptime.
Felix Backgård, Technical Sales Manager, Echandia
The total cost of ownership, combined with the products high level of safety and low weight were key factors in selecting Echandia as battery supplier. In addition, choosing a system with longer lifetime makes perfect sense from a sustainability perspective.
Ole Berg-Hansen, Chief Engineer Molslinjen
For Echandia, this is a yet another breakthrough. Molslinjen is showing the way, and we believe that many other operators will follow their example in the future. For us, the deal means a step towards supplying larger passenger ferries where weight, total cost and safety are important aspects.
Fredrik Hellström, CEO Echandia
We are extremely happy that the E-tug Sparky can show the way for other ports and operators, to become more efficient. With this groundbreaking achievement, we now actually see a huge interest in making port operations emission free with our battery systems.

By expanding our business through this collaboration, we will help make a carbon-neutral society a reality.
Shigehiro Kawahara, Vice President of the Energy Aggregation Div.
Echandia’s battery solutions really fits well for these demanding operational profiles with high-power needs and uninterrupted service over long periods of time. We are honored to be trusted as a part of Green City Ferries’ breakthroughs in maritime transportation. Their project, which not only reduces emissions from Stockholm’s waterborne local transportation but also pioneers emission-free high-speed catamarans that potentially can be used in cities all over the world.
Magnus Eriksson, CEO & Founder, Echandia
The introduction of Beluga24 in Stockholm is a significant step toward lowering carbon dioxide emissions from the region's waterborne public transportation system. Echandia’s energy solutions are critical to realizing the ground-breaking emission-free high-speed passenger commuting concept. We can now demonstrate that there is an appealing alternative to traditional vessels for both shorter and longer routes.
Fredrik Thornell, CEO Green City Ferries
Echandia is proud to announce this first order in the naval market segment. Our solutions are especially suitable in these extreme heavy-duty applications and can ensure safety and performance while at the same time reducing the environmental impact. We consider this order a seal of quality for our technology.
Magnus Eriksson, CEO Echandia
We are excited to welcome Mr. Larsen to Echandia. He has pushed technical boundaries to make shipping more sustainable and more energy efficient throughout his career. The combination of Morten’s deep understanding of the maritime sector and his knowledge about the Danish market will help Echandia to further establish its presence in Denmark. The Danish market is especially interesting and important to Echandia, and with Morten on board we are ready to advance the sustainable development of the maritime sector on the Danish market..
Magnus Eriksson, CEO & Founder of Echandia
Even though shipping has been in constant change, the transformation ahead is the most foundational I’ve ever seen. The sheer amount of sea-based traffic between the Danish islands, with relatively short distances make battery-electric solutions a “no-brainer..
Morten Larsen
Cutting emissions in the maritime sector is one of the transport industry’s greatest challenges. Echandia is lowering the environmental footprint within the sector by providing world class technology in battery and fuel cell systems for maritime applications. I look forward to joining the Echandia team, and to contribute with my experience and expertise to develop Echandia’s solutions for a sustainable transport industry.
