The ship, delivered by Estonia-based BLRT Grupp last month, has a total length of 66,4 m, a maximum width of 13,6 m and a capacity of 50 cars or 4 heavy goods vehicles in combination with passenger cars. It holds 146 passengers including staff, and was built according to Det Norske Veritas’s Class, with a gross tonnage of 1634.
“New ferry is another proof that our holding is able to build eco-friendly vessels – from design development and preparation of documentation to turn-key ship building,” emphasized the chairman of the board of BLRT, Fjodor Berman. “Market trends suggest that the future lies with such ferries.”
Fjord1, one of the largest ferry operators in Norway, launched in December the world’s largest LNG-powered ferry, named ‘the MF Boknafjord’. It measures 129.9 m long by 19.2m wide and has the capacity for 242 passenger cars and 600 passengers including staff.
