Comfortable journeys. Efficient coastal operations.
Designed for coastal passenger routes and express boat operations, combining passenger comfort with zero-emission energy systems, shore charging interfaces, and life-extension retrofits tailored to the operating profile. Integrated power architectures and optimised hull solutions make efficient use of available energy, berth turnaround time, and onboard passenger space.
HAV Coastal Passenger Series
Designed for: · Coastal passenger, cargo and leisure operations · High-speed passenger services · Battery-hybrid retrofits · Shore charging interfaces
Operational performance & route profiling.
Reduce energy consumption, emissions, and fuel costs and carbon-related costs across demanding coastal sailing patterns.
Optimised for the actual route profile.
Hull forms, battery-hybrid architectures, and power systems are engineered for specific transit speeds, berth turnaround times, and shore charging windows.

Configuration / flexibility
Prepared for the next mission
We work with operators to analyse route profiles, berth turnaround times, and shore charging availability to prepare for future zero-emission upgrades. Weight margins, space reservations, and electrical interfaces can be incorporated from the start.
Energy & propulsion
Battery-hybrid power architectures, shore charging interfaces, and energy recovery systems are configured specifically for express boats and coastal routes, supporting efficient energy use and compliance with applicable requirements.
Configured for your operation:
Passenger lounge layouts, speed profiles, seakeeping characteristics, and manoeuverability systems can be tailored to local coastal conditions, weather exposure, and operational requirements.
