The fleet has had good experiences with plug-in hybrid drives. The new boats will be the fourth and fifth hybrid-powered boats. The environment-friendly drive is set to become the new, innovative standard for the company, according to Karsten Schönewald, CEO of Flotte Hamburg. The new boats are scheduled for delivery in 2025 and will be used in Cuxhaven and Hamburg. "These boats are far more than mere means of deployment for our employees. On the one hand, they are workplaces and,on the other, places of social interaction at sea, They have to meet the high demands placed on them during operations," said André Bertram, head of the water police.
