Sažetak
The research presents results of analysis of 36 ferry and passenger routes on the Croatian Adriatic shore, with sail time up to 60 minutes. 19 of the routes representing 41.5% of daily mileage in the high season have been found suitable. Those lines carried 81.1% of all passengers and 87.4% of vehicles in the domestic sea transport in 2015. Detailed analysis of requirements for electrification has been conducted on one hull type and one ferry line in the Split port region. Grid requirements for shore-side charging and multiple scenarios involving Diesel, hybrid and full electric propulsion have shown potential for reduction in usage of Diesel fuel, giving the return on investment within four to seven years, given current prices and different scenarios investigated. Additionally, wind- driven component of the propulsion could further reduce energy demands in the order of 20% to 50%. The contribution of this paper is the demonstrated economic feasibility of electric powertrains for coastal ferry operations in the Adriatic Sea.
