Ellen, Electric Driven Ferry

The four-year project behind Ellen, the first 100% electrically powered and CO2-neutral ferry of its kind, was supported by EU funds and Ærø Municipality. Its unique feature includes 50 tons of batteries in the cargo hold, powering this 60-meter-long ‘diva’. Sustainability has been the keyword for implementing the Electric Ferry project, valued at 224 million Danish kroner, highlighted by lightweight materials such as fiberglass and furniture, including out-sider’s PLATEAU outdoor furniture, which is robust and elegant. With almost 100 seats provided by 8 PLATEAU tables, passengers can enjoy the beautiful view during Ellen’s journey through Danish waters.

For the ferry’s director, Keld M. Møller, out-sider’s PLATEAU was an obvious choice. Robust and UV-resistant, yet slim and elegant in its design, it aligns with the overall concept perfectly. The 8 PLATEAU tables from out-sider are neatly arranged on the deck, providing seating for nearly 100 passengers to enjoy the beautiful views while Miss Ellen steadily navigates through the Danish waters
