China Zorrilla, built by Incat in Tasmania, has completed her delivery voyage to Uruguay aboard Boskalis' heavy-lift vessel Black Marlin. The 130-metre catamaran will carry 2,100 passengers and 225 cars for Buquebus across the Río de la Plata between Buenos Aires and Colonia, using a 41.2 MWh battery system charged at both terminals. The project began with a diesel/LNG design before switching to full electric.
