Brim Explorer electric and hybrid-electric sightseeing boats
- Published 6 July 2022; updated 30 September 2026; 2-minute read. Brim Explorer designs, builds and operates electric and hybrid-electric passenger boats in Arctic waters and Oslo. Cameras, microphones and underwater drones help guests observe marine life; the company says silent electric operation reduces emissions, noise and disturbance to wildlife. Boats can operate a full day on battery power and charge overnight in most Norwegian ports, according to the article.
- The company describes integrating sustainability into onboard food, partners and retail, and working with ocean organisations including Whale and Dolphin Conservation, Bellona and ZERO. It reports five boats in operation in Norway and construction of two high-speed, long-range trimarans. The article says the trimarans are intended to meet zero-emission rules for tourist ships and ferries in World Heritage fjords, which it states took effect 1 January 2026. It cites a Menon forecast of Norwegian tourism growing from NOK 250 billion in 2023 to NOK 330 billion in 2030. Linked UN SDGs: 9 and 11.
