The GBP 10 million vessel, about to commence trials and a training period for personnel, is the first RoRo dedicated to freight traffic in Red Funnel’s almost 200-year-long history.
The 74m-long vessel, with a capacity of 265 lane metres and scope to carry up to 12 passengers, has Rolls-Royce azimuth thrusters and a fuel-efficient propulsion package that complies with latest Tier III emission regulations. Its hull has been specially designed to limit wash on the 55-60-minute crossing over the Solent between Southampton and East Cowes on the Isle of Wight.
