The order for four 4,200 GT LNG-fuelled ferries for the Vestfjord crossing in Northern Norway has been awarded to Remontowa shipyard in Gdansk, Poland. The operation contract was won by Torghatten Nord in July for two services across the exposed Vestfjord, one of which is the Bodø-Svolvær service.
The ferries will be built to a design by LMG Marine for 390 passengers and 120 car units, or the combination of twelve commercial vehicles and 46 small cars on two car decks. With a hull length of 93 meters, the ferries are designed for a flexible speed range between 12 and 19 knots. The total order value amounts to NOK 850 million (EUR 105 million) and delivery is set for 2013.
