Future-oriented local public transport

Passenger/commuter ferries are the ideal addition to public transport networks.

Limited space in urban areas, a congested road network and crowded metros and trains. A potential solution to meet these challenges in public transport comes across the water.

Support at all levels

Shiptec develops, designs and builds modern passenger ferries.

New passenger ferries should be as efficient and low-emission as possible. That is why ships are designed in a lightweight aluminium construction and are optimised for the respective application. The propulsion drive can be hybrid, electric, hydrogen-based or conventional.

We support you with the following projects

  • Newly built passenger and commuter ferries in steel or aluminium, as well as a combination of both (including composite materials)

  • Engineering, project planning, development & planning of ships

  • Installation of new engines, conventional or zero emission
