Orbit Clipper, UK’s first fully electric cross-river ferry, is now in service, marking a major milestone in sustainable transport for London.

Operating between Rotherhithe and Canary Wharf, Orbit Clipper offers an accessible, fast and environmentally friendly way to cross the Thames, connecting communities and workplaces while helping to reduce the city’s carbon footprint.

Cross River Rotherhithe - Canary Wharf

A new era for river travel

With space for 150 passengers and 100 bicycles, Orbit Clipper offers a smooth, quiet, and zero-emission journey, powered entirely by electricity whether you’re commuting to work, exploring the city, or simply crossing the river.

Orbit Clipper will make a big difference for cyclists wanting to cross the Thames. Thanks to a roll-on/roll-off system, cyclists can board easily by wheeling their bikes straight on and off the ferry.
