Contract for new-generation LNG-powered fast ferry now signed

In December, both companies had signed a letter of intent. With a length of approximately 212m, the 49,000gt vessel will carry 2,800 passengers on the Tallinn-Helsinki route. The fast ferry will cost about EUR 230 million and will be built at Meyer Turku shipyard for delivery at the beginning of 2017.
Its innovative hull form is said to minimise the flow resistance and ensures that the ship operates well in ice conditions. Efficient and fast cargo turnaround in ports has been taken into account in the design of the ferry.
