Croatia's national ferry line, Jadrolinjia, has added the 'Biokovo' to its fleet. The head of Jadrolinija, Slavko Loncar, said that 'Biokovo' was the eleventh ferry to have been received by the company in the past five years.
Built by Brodosplit Shipyard for US$14 million, the vessel's godfather is Croatia's State Secretary for the Sea, Branko Baacic.
'Biokovo' can accommodate up to 1,300 passengers and 138 cars. The vessel has a maximum speed of 13 knots. The vessel will be deployed on a route between Split and Supetar.
Jadrolinjia will take delivery of its twelfth vessel in April 2010.
