battery capacity of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wasaline.com\/en\/our-ferry\/\">Aurora Botnia<\/a> with an additional 10.4 MWh, to be delivered in autumn 2025. The battery supplier is marine battery specialist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aykenergy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AYK Energy<\/a>, and the batteries will be in operation in January 2026. The batteries are of the LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) type, known for their safety and long lifespan.<\/p>\n<p>This investment is projected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 23%. Since operations began in January 2013 with the Wasa Express, emissions are reduced by 77% per trip, which meets the EU&#8217;s climate goal of a 55% reduction in emissions by 2030 compared to 1990 levels.<\/p>\n<p>From the initial planning of Wasalines Aurora Botnia, the company set the target of achieving fully carbon-neutral operations by 2030. This hybrid vessel is a equipped with dual-fuel engines and 2.2 MWh batteries, and it uses electric-powered Azimuth thrusters. The new battery upgrade is expected to further cut fossil energy use by approximately 10,000 MWh annually.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ma24debb-8fa2a4917a7a80fc05cb8b8e36bc5674\">\n.avia-image-container.av-ma24debb-8fa2a4917a7a80fc05cb8b8e36bc5674 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-ma24debb-8fa2a4917a7a80fc05cb8b8e36bc5674 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-ma24debb-8fa2a4917a7a80fc05cb8b8e36bc5674 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-73479 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-73479 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/www.wasaline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/aurora-botnia-batteries-2-845x684.jpg\" alt='Battery setup (2025) aboard Aurora Botnia' title='aurora-botnia-batteries-2'  height=\"684\" width=\"845\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wasaline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/aurora-botnia-batteries-2-845x684.jpg 845w, https:\/\/www.wasaline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/aurora-botnia-batteries-2-495x400.jpg 495w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ma24dvo9-a37586fc3d45c0df73228b3b918e3514\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-ma24dvo9-a37586fc3d45c0df73228b3b918e3514 .avia_textblock{\ntext-align:center;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ma24dvo9-a37586fc3d45c0df73228b3b918e3514 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>The current battery capacity of Aurora Botnia is 2.2 MWh.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ma24gjdz-866e138138eb96063c6faa7f463a16aa '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Built at Rauma Marine Constructions, the hybrid ROPAX Ferry Aurora Botnia entered service August 28, 2021. The ferry is equipped with dual-fuel engines and batteries and is using LNG, biogas and batteries for the propulsion. Passengers and cargo customers can also offset their climate footprint.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are continuously working to establish the Vaasa\u2013Ume\u00e5 route as a green shipping corridor. There&#8217;s growing demand for environmentally friendly transport, and intermodal cargo transportation from Europe is increasing yearly. This means the entire transport chain can be carbon-neutral today. Expanding our battery capacity is a major step that allows us to make our vessel even more sustainable and allocate more capacity to batteries and biogas. Our collaboration with Finland\u2019s and the region\u2019s energy clusters makes innovative solutions like this possible and we are proud to be a forerunner in the industry\u201d, says <strong>Peter St\u00e5hlberg<\/strong>, Managing Director of Wasaline.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the largest battery retrofit on a vessel to date, and we are extremely proud to be partnering with Wasaline as the provider of this advanced battery solution. Being recognized once again as a reliable and cost-effective supplier is extremely gratifying\u201d, says <strong>Chris Kruger<\/strong>, Founder and President at AYK Energy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis project exemplifies AYK\u2019s vision of bringing high quality, safe and cost-effective solutions to address our customers requirements for environmentally friendly transport. The transition to electric and hybrid vessels is accelerating, and the AYK\/Wasaline partnership is an excellent example of how working together strategically can make the change happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more information, contact:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Peter St\u00e5hlberg, Managing Director, Wasaline <a
