Arrange the sentences into the correct order.
Put the sentences in the correct order:
- Harbors that once carried a constant diesel haze now report noticeably cleaner air and quieter waterfronts wherever these electric ferries operate.
- Charging stations were then built into ferry terminals so that batteries could top up during the brief minutes passengers spent boarding and disembarking.
- Because the vessel proved both quieter and cheaper to run than its diesel counterparts, several coastal cities ordered similar ships within just a few years.
- In 2015, a Scandinavian shipbuilder launched the first fully electric ferry, powered by a battery bank large enough to complete a return crossing on a single charge.
- For most of the twentieth century, ferries crossing short coastal routes ran on diesel engines that left the surrounding harbors smelling of exhaust.
