Q:
> when will they charge?
A:
> The ship... will travel between the ports of Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay. The two cities are 60 kilometers apart, a distance it is expected to travel in 90 minutes.
> Direct-current charging stations will be installed at each port... A full charge is expected to take just 40 minutes.
Full charge is 40 but the charge for each journey is 6 / 9 minutes.
Big difference, since I imagine the turnaround time on a similar ICE ferry would be less than 40 minutes but more than 10.
Indeed, the turnaround time necessary for unloading passengers, and loading the next lot is likely sufficient to keep charge.
