Technology group Wärtsilä has been selected as the electrical integrator for a major battery extension project for the Wasaline ROPAX ferry ‘Aurora Botnia’.
Available from stock at Damen Song Cam Shipyard in Vietnam, the shipbuilder expects to deliver the vessel just seven weeks after the contract signing on 12th May.
BC Ferries currently has a contract with Damen Shipyards Group for the build and delivery of four Damen Road Ferries 8117 E3 design—known by BC Ferries as “Island Class” vessels.
Cemre Shipyard has announced the departure of NB1091 Hinnøy, Norway’s largest zero-emission ferry, built for Torghatten Nord, as she sets sail toward her new home in the northern waters of Norway.
The route that the ferry will serve – between Norddeich and the island of Norderney on the East Frisian coast – called for the development of a unique vessel.
