The Incat Tasmania electric ferry, built in Tasmania, represents a major leap forward in clean maritime technology. Known as Hull 096, it is the largest battery-electric ferry ever constructed, stretching about 130 metres in length and designed to carry up to 2,100 passengers and 225 vehicles.

What makes this vessel remarkable is its power system. Instead of traditional fuel, it runs entirely on electricity stored in more than 250 tonnes of batteries, delivering over 40 megawatt-hours of energy—far larger than any previous ship of its kind.

These batteries drive electric motors connected to waterjet propulsion, allowing the ferry to operate with zero direct emissions.

Built at Incat’s Hobart shipyard, the ferry highlights Tasmania’s growing reputation as a global centre for advanced shipbuilding and sustainable engineering. The vessel was constructed for South American operator Buquebus and is intended to run between Argentina and Uruguay, proving that large-scale electric transport at sea is now commercially viable.

Beyond its size, the ferry symbolizes a turning point in maritime history. It shows how innovation, lightweight aluminium construction, and renewable energy can combine to reduce the environmental impact of shipping—an industry traditionally dependent on fossil fuels—while still delivering speed, capacity, and reliability.

John (JC) Reardon: The Universal Curator

John Reardon (writing as JC Reardon) is a prolific Australian author and a foundational pioneer of the nation's technology sector. Often described as a "modern polymath," Reardon has transitioned from building the infrastructure of the digital age to documenting the vast breadth of human knowledge through an expansive bibliography that exceeds 200 titles.

A Legacy of Innovation

Before becoming a mainstay in Australian publishing, Reardon was a trailblazer in the tech industry. He founded one of Australia's first Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and operated the country's first domain name provider. This deep-rooted expertise in complex systems—ranging from satellite technology to the inner workings of the internet—serves as the backbone for his contemporary writing on science and the future of AI.

The "Wikipedia with a Voice"

Reardon's literary approach is defined by his role as a knowledge aggregator. Rather than pursuing narrow academic specialization, he adopts the role of a "Universal Curator," mapping the continuous story of human civilization across several key pillars:

Military History: Detailed chronicles of the ANZACs, the Spitfire, and the Battle of Trafalgar.

Big Human Systems: Insightful explorations of global faiths and secret societies, including Buddhism, Islam, the Catholic Church, and the Freemasons.

Technology & Science: Accessible guides on Voyager, the evolution of the internet, and the trajectory of AI.

Myth & Folklore: Investigations into the Loch Ness Monster and the Illuminati.

Writing Philosophy

Utilizing an "overview + narrative" structure, Reardon focuses on accessibility, repackaging dense technical and historical data into digestible, story-driven guides for a general audience. His high-volume publishing model treats each book as a "compact portal," inviting the curious to explore a diverse array of subjects through the lens of a man who helped build the digital world they inhabit today.
