Press release
Marine Charging Point Ltd delivers two significant EV charging projects to Spirit of Tasmania, Australia
November 4th, 2024, Turku, Finland
Marine Charging Point (MCP) can now proudly announce the completion of the first of two significant projects with TT-Line Company - Spirit of Tasmania from Australia, having been awarded the projects in early 2024. MCP’s CYAN EV Charging System has been installed on the Tasmanian ferry operator’s two newbuild RoPax ferries, Spirit of Tasmania IV, completed in 2024 and Spirit of Tasmania V, due to be completed in 2025 - currently being built at Rauma Marine Constructions (RMC) in Rauma, Finland.
The 212m long ultra-modern RoPax vessels have 3700 lane metres capacity for passenger and freight vehicles and will operate the route between Geelong on the Australian mainland and Devonport, Tasmania. The voyage takes between 9,5 and 11,5 hours – and now passengers will also be able to charge their Electric Vehicles while onboard.
The charging systems being delivered for both Spirit of Tasmania newbuild vessels by Marine Charging Point features 20 AC charging points on car deck, with a combined charging power of up to 150kW per system. This is enough to provide a significant charging service for EV passengers while their vehicles are stationary onboard – and at arrival, passengers can exit the ship with a topped-up battery and can continue their journey immediately.
Marine Charging Point’s CYAN EV Charging System is running the charging operations onboard, complying with the most stringent of class and maritime safety requirements, with class approval from Lloyd’s Register. Real-time monitoring and integrated warning and alarm functions are ensuring a safe charging process - notifying the crew onboard of any identifiable risk the connected EV can communicate to the charging system.
“I think this is a great product, and I believe it will become the new industry standard!”
- John Anastassiou, Project Technical Manager, Spirit of Tasmania
We would like to extend our warmest appreciation towards all at Spirit of Tasmania and their committed newbuilding team for entrusting us with these very innovative projects, as well as the great collaboration with other stakeholders, such as the IAS supplier Valmet and of course the shipyard itself, Rauma Marine Constructions.
Marine Charging Point is actively targeting marine electrification projects in more than 30 countries all over the world, and with these flagship projects we are now expanding our operations to a whole new continent.

This has been a long awaited point of reference for shipowners and shipbuilders alike, as the vehicles coming aboard vessels nowadays drastically shift more towards battery powered vehicles and to some extent other alternative fuels – yet no proper guidance has been offered on this topic until now.
Marine Charging Point, expert on charging systems for marine applications, has contributed with expertise on the EV charging scope, that is also covered by the Guidance. The work has been performed through an informal work group, led by EMSA to collectively produce the Guidance document by various stakeholders in the European maritime community.
Marine Charging Point is proud to actively contribute to safer conditions onboard by offering its expertise for legislative and guidance matters, whilst developing safe and highly sophisticated charging and monitoring solutions for EVs on the car decks of ferries around the world.
The Guidance Document can be found on EMSA:s website:

Who is the company that takes electric car chargers to the sea?
A new line of highly innovative products for the charging industry for electric cars, not only on land and on the road, but also at sea, comes from EVziiin©.
The specific solutions will solve an important issue concerning the charging of electric vehicles for many drivers who make either frequent stays, or business commitments, or their holidays, on different islands throughout Greece and who will now have the opportunity to arrive. destination with the car's full battery.
On the other side, shipowners will be able to provide these services easily, reliably and safely - an issue of paramount importance to the industry, for obvious reasons - through an integrated support system.
The operation of this system
High-quality load and safety monitoring systems are used for roPax passenger cars as well as PCC (Pure Car Carrier) and PCTC (Pure Car and Truck Carrier). The complete charging and monitoring systems consist of special materials, with the highest safety standard, for installation on car decks and control rooms, in combination with a specially designed software integrated in the ship's fuel management system, with extensions that extend to both warning and alarm systems.
The central control system, called the CYAN charging system, uses adaptive energy management and optimization, which allows the electrical systems to be charged according to the boat's actual energy distribution capacity at any time. Most important of all, the relevant systems get the most out of it the ship's capacity at any time. The most important thing is, that the relevant systems make the best use of fire or explosion-related accident prevention by extracting all available information from charging stations and connected vehicles - giving a warning of any malfunctions or danger to the crew as soon as possible.
The benefits of solutions
1. Utilization of accumulated know-how by leading countries in the field of e-mobility: From the Netherlands, Scandinavian countries and experience from maritime transport in the Baltic Sea.
2. Enhanced safety: Electric propulsion systems, like all other systems on board, must meet specific specifications and be able to comply with future common European safety directives. EVziiin© solutions provide just that.
3. Full interconnection: EVziiin© solutions interact with the ship's system and can offer - in addition to the boat's system - remote control of the boat's infrastructure.
4. Integrated ecosystem: EVziiin© circuits provide remote support, operation, troubleshooting, pricing and sales from ship-owned charging infrastructure.
5. Personal services: EVziiin© IoT ecosystem supports different types of campaigns (eg advertising vouchers) for the consumer/driver for the benefit of shipping companies and their customers.
The collaboration
EVziiin© brings the specific state-of-the-art solutions to Greece in collaboration with the company: Marine Charging Point Ltd, a leading company from Finland, which will transfer - through its products - the important experience of the Scandinavian Hersonissos in the field of electricity, now also in the sea...
Great business opportunities
E-mobility creates new business opportunities - now also in the shipping industry - and opportunities for ship-owning companies to generate new revenue streams. In particular, by using the platform developed by EVziiin©, they take full advantage of the possibilities of the Internet of Things and the digital technology in the field of charging electric cars.
