15 December 2023 - Scandlines has contracted HAV Group's energy design and smart
control systems business to deliver an onshore charging system to the ferry
operator's berth in Puttgarden, Germany.

The Norwegian maritime system integrator, which specializes in sustainable
energy design and smart control systems, will deliver the land-based charging
system to the Puttgarden ferry berth and connect the equipment to the power
grid. The company will also deliver additional equipment to the ferry.

Scandlines' new zero direct emission ferry, Futura, currently under construction
in Turkey, will operate the Puttgarden-Rødby route between Germany and Denmark.
 
In April 2022, HAV Group's energy design and smart control business signed a
contract to deliver the shore power solution in Rødby on the Danish side of the
route. Now, the group will also provide the charging solution for the German
side of the ferry link.

"We are delighted to be awarded another contract for an onshore charging system.
It adds to the already signed contracts for charging system on the Danish side,
and the contract to deliver battery and control systems plus to act as system
integrator for the zero-emission ferry. In total, it underlines our capabilities
as provider of integrated vessel solutions and services," says Gunnar Larsen,
CEO of HAV Group.
 
CHARGING IN RECORD TIME

HAV Group's energy design and smart control business is already in the process
of delivering propulsion, power, automation, and navigation systems to
Scandlines' zero direct emissions freight ferry. With the design and delivery of
the ferry's charging solution on the German side of the link, as well as the
Danish, the company is responsible for the complete energy design, from the
power grid to the propeller.

The complete onshore charging station includes a 30MVA grid transformer, medium
and low voltage transformers, and switchboards, in addition to control system
and data collection system. Together these components ensure safe, efficient,
and reliable operation of both the charging system and the vessel.

"With a battery pack of ten megawatt-hours, equivalent to the combined capacity
of about 150 large electric cars, the ferry's battery capacity will be among the
world's largest on board a ship. Rapid charging is essential for the ferry while
it is unloading vehicles and should take about 12 minutes. Imagine charging 150
electric vehicles with one charger in 12 minutes only. While fast charging a car
is one thing, handling this amount of energy is quite another matter," says Jan
Klokk, VP Sales at HAV Group's business area for energy design and smart control
systems.

HAV Group's energy design and smart control systems business will utilise its
three Norwegian facilities in Bergen, Egersund, and Ålesund to design, assemble,
and test the onshore power system. 

HAV Group's contract party is Norwegian Electric Systems AS. The company has not
disclosed the value of the contract.
