HSC China Zorrilla

China Zorrilla is a battery electric roll-on/roll-off catamaran ferry, scheduled to commence operation in 2026 by Buquebus across the Río de la Plata connecting Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay and Buenos Aires, Argentina. Built in Hobart, Australia by Incat under the provisional name of Hull 096 and launched in May 2025 with a cost of $200 million, it is the largest fully electric ship, and largest battery electric vehicle of any kind, in the world. It was named in honor of the Uruguayan grande dame and actress China Zorrilla (1922–2014), who developed her acting career in stage and screen in both Argentina and Uruguay, as a representative of rioplatense culture.
