The
TrAM
project
The aim of the TrAM project is to develop a zero emission fast going passenger vessel through advanced modular production. New manufacturing methods will contribute to 25 per cent lower production costs and 70 per cent lower engineering costs. The project is revolutionary both in terms of zero emission technology and manufacturing methods, and will contribute to making electric-powered high-speed vessel competitive in terms of both cost and the environment.
MS Medstraum, the world’s first fully electric and zero-emission fast ferry, classed as a high-speed craft, has embarked on the journey from Fjellstrand shipyard to her new home port, Stavanger.
Presented as the world’s first zero-emission fast ferry, classed as a High-Speed Craft, MS Medstraum caused attention when the international maritime community finally gathered again.
Hamburg Ship Model Basin (HSVA) has investigated hundreds of different hull forms to ensure that the TrAM project vessel will become as efficient as possible.
