## Resource

A colossal 217-meter heavy-lift ship, the Black Marlin, is en route to Hobart to haul the world’s largest battery-electric ferry—a 130-meter Incat catamaran powered by 5,000 batteries, designed for Argentina-Uruguay crossings. Originally delayed by geopolitical issues, this high-stakes delivery showcases the intricate logistics behind moving mega-vessels, with the Black Marlin expected to arrive by mid-July after a refuel stop in Melbourne. The loading process involves submerging the ship’s deck and using a custom cradle in the River Derwent’s deepest stretch—a delicate, multi-day operation. This pioneering green transport not only marks a milestone in sustainable shipping but could pave the way for future electric vessel fleets, with a 30-40 day journey ahead to Buenos Aires.
