NORWEGIAN ferry operator Norled has ordered two new 130-passenger all-electric catamaran ferries.
The vessels will be delivered in Jan 2024 and will operate on the Bodo/Ytne/Gildeska/Vaeran route which has just been awarded to Norled.
The 40.6-metre carbon-fibre catamarans will also have significant cargo capacity and will be powered by a 4MWh battery pack.
They will have a maximum speed of 30 knots, with both ferries to operate the 60 nautical mile route in full battery mode and the project standing as a milestone for the rollout of emission-free high-speed ferries.
