Commercial Craft
Custom parallel hybrid systems engineered for passenger ferries, water taxis, eco-tour craft, and heavy commercial barges up to 100 tons.
Commercial System Engineering
Hybrid Marine specialises in designing, developing, and supplying heavy-duty hybrid packages tailored specifically to commercial vessel duty cycles. Commercial projects range from small municipal water taxis to 100-ton passenger barges and unique public attractions like floating cinemas.
Drawing on our proven single and twin-motor parallel hybrid architectures, systems are scalable from 30 hp / 10 kW suitable for light ferries up to 200+ hp / 40 kW for commercial displacement vessels.
Scalable Commercial Power Solutions
30 hp Engine / 10 kW Hybrid
Optimised for small passenger ferries, water taxis, and harbour inspection launches requiring zero-emission electric manoeuvring with full diesel power for open water.
100–200+ hp / 20–40 kW Hybrid
Designed for commercial barges up to 100 tons. Utilises single or twin "V-Twin" brushless motor units matched with large traction or LFP battery banks for extended electrical autonomy.
Commercial Integration Capabilities
System Capabilities for Commercial Operators
- Tailored Battery & Inverter Banks: System sizing configured for specific autonomy needs—from large LFP banks for full-day passenger routes to compact AGM banks for light ferries.
- Multi-Phase & Shore Charging: Integrated 3-phase charging capabilities for rapid overnight dockside power replenishment.
- High Domestic & AC Power: Supplies heavy onboard AC domestic loads (audio/visual equipment, cinema projection, catering) directly from Victron inverter banks.
- Remote Monitoring & Control: Live telemetry for commercial fleet managers to track battery state of charge, system temperatures, and operational hours.
- Silent Generator Backup Integration: Combines main propulsion diesels with quiet generator sets for 24/7 commercial uptime.
- OEM Builder Support: Custom hybrid packages supplied directly to UK and international boat builders for new commercial builds.
