The Rise of Electric Boats
How Quiet Ships Are Transforming Waterways

Book Details
About this book:

The Rise of Electric Boats The rumble of diesel engines has defined our waterways for over a century—but that era is ending. *The Rise of Electric Boats* takes you inside the quiet revolution transforming how we move across lakes, rivers, and oceans, from the first experimental electric hulls of the 1880s to the sleek, silent fleets now gliding through cities like Amsterdam, Venice, and San Francisco. This is the definitive account of how battery breakthroughs, bold entrepreneurs, and shifting regulations are converging to make electric marine transport not just possible, but inevitable.

More than a technology story, this book explores the full landscape of change: the economics that are finally tipping in favor of electric vessels, the environmental stakes of decarbonizing global shipping, the investment trends fueling a booming industry, and the real-world case studies of electric ferries, cargo ships, and water taxis already in operation worldwide. Whether you're a maritime professional navigating new regulations, an investor eyeing the next green frontier, an engineer hungry for technical depth, or simply someone who cares about cleaner, quieter waterways, this book delivers the insight and inspiration you need to understand—and be part of—the electric maritime future.
