The Basque Government will produce 100% electric and decarbonised nautical vessels over the next three years to make the Basque Country a European model of sustainable maritime mobility. With an investment of 36 million euros, based on advanced marine electrification technologies, it will incorporate new technological and productive capabilities into the shipbuilding and nautical sector. It will create 71 direct and 120 indirect jobs, with a total of 191 new jobs.
The Minister of Industry, Energy Transition and Sustainability, Mikel Jauregi, presented on Monday at the Maritime Club of Abra (Getxo) the transformative project Zero Emissions Marine Boat, the sixth project created under the Basque Country 2030 Industrial Plan.
The project will be led by the Biscayan company LASAI, a reference in the design and manufacture of zero-emission recreational craft, and will promote a new industrial value chain consisting of 6 small and medium-sized Basque companies, with the support of the cluster Basque Maritime Forum. It will also involve the main agents of the Basque Network of Science, Technology and Innovation, led by Tecnalia and CIC.
In the words of Garikoitz Telleria, CEO of LASAI, "we are creating a new market segment of zero-emission recreational craft, facing an unreferenced challenge that will lead to efficient and sustainable vessels , and will also allow production to be extended to other maritime mobility needs such as freight, fishing, port and passenger services, with a multiplier effect. "
The project will be developed between 2026 and 2028, during which period the technological design of ships will be carried out and the development of energy and digital systems will be carried out, prototypes will be manufactured and marine tests will be carried out. The process will culminate in the international launch of a new generation of electric vessels designed and manufactured entirely in the CVC.
