CAPTN Vaiaro is an Autonomous Electric Ferry Concept for Kiel Fjord in Germany

What will mobility look like in the future? a team of designers from the CAPTN initiative has answered this question with two autonomous ferry concepts powered by electricity. the designers have developed the alternative modes of transport for the port city of kiel based on the city’s geographic location and traffic situation. the project, called ‘CAPTN vaiaro’, presents a possible future for ferry traffic on kiel fjord.
Several scientists and working groups are involved in the project, namely from kiel university, kiel university of applied sciences, muthesius university of fine arts and design, and representatives from politics, administration and industry. the CAPTN initiative addresses the entire mobility chain, including connections between bus and ferry services. based on an electric, autonomous ferry, two concepts have been developed for the vaiaro project, called ‘floating platform’ and ‘passage’ respectively. each concept tackles the brief with a different approach.
