E-LUV 2208

The E‑LUV 2208 is the UK’s first fully electric, zero‑emissions shallow draught, heavy-duty, commercial landing utility vessel. Built by Coastal Workboats in collaboration with Damen Shipyards , it is a landmark step forward in maritime decarbonisation.

The vessel is approximately 80% complete and nearing final stages of construction. Any incoming purchaser will be required to complete the remaining works, which are understood to be limited in scope and largely relate to fit‑out activities. The vessel is being sold in its current state, providing a buyer with a substantially advanced platform to complete and tailor the final build to their own operational requirements.

Provides rapid charging and can act as a mobile range extender, adding up to 50 nautical miles of range.

Battery System:
Powered by EST‑Floattech Octopus High Energy system with 2,400kWh onboard plus 1,200kWh via SPSS. Certified by DNV, BV, LR and RINA.

Operational Capability:
Deck cargo capacity of 60 tonnes. Bow ramp clear width of 3.1m. Tankage includes 1.0 m3 fresh water and 1.0 m3 waste water.

Certification:
Built to Bureau Veritas and MCA Workboat Code 2, Edition 3 standards. Certified to operate up to 60 nautical miles from safe haven with capacity for 12 passengers.

The E LUV 2208 is well suited to a broad range of commercial and public sector applications where zero emissions particularly the Hydromaster thrusters and MJR integration systems, shallow draught access and heavy deck capability are increasingly critical for a range of operations. Potential buyers include port and harbour authorities, offshore wind developers, utilities, infrastructure contractors, government agencies, and operators supporting coastal construction, logistics, island services and marine renewables. With advanced electric propulsion, strong cargo and ramping capability, and certification under the MCA Workboat Code, the vessel offers an attractive platform for operators seeking to future proof fleets against tightening environmental regulation while maintaining operational flexibility and resilience.
