From Wightlink:
The newest and biggest addition to our fleet, our environmentally-friendly flagship ferry brings in a new, greener era of travel between the Isle of Wight and the mainland. She entered service on 26 August 2018.
Her entry into service marked the most significant point in the £45 million investment in our Portsmouth to Fishbourne route. She runs on hybrid energy, meaning she runs partly on electricity, much like hybrid cars.
Environmentally friendly
Our new flagship is the greenest to serve the Isle of Wight. Her hybrid energy system, which works much like a hybrid energy car, allows her to run partly on electricity when required. Sustainability is truly at the heart of Victoria of Wight.
Less fuel
Victoria of Wight is the first hybrid energy ferry in England, setting new standards for cross-Solent travel. She combines battery power with conventional engines to sail between Portsmouth and Fishbourne, using 17% less fuel than the next largest ship on the route, the St Clare.
Generating electricity
It’s not just hybrid energy engines that makes her so eco-friendly. Her lift is capable of generating electricity through kinetic energy, warmth generated by the engine heats water on board and motion sensors are used to control LED lights in lesser-used areas.
