May be too large though, 400 passengers is quite a bit, not sure how much they cost either.

They quote the range has being 175NM "per day" I would assume this is not on a single charge and instead with rest periods while it's stopped?

A nice looking ship!

So, if it gets 175 nm "per day", that would likely be 5-6 round trips between Mill Cove and the downtown ferry terminal. How many ferries do you think they will put on this service? I would think you would need a minimum of two ferries to make the service viable (in terms of both frequency and capacity).
