New hybrid ferry delivered to Fjord1

Norwegian operator Fjord1 has taken delivery of a new double-ended Ro-Pax ferry from Turkey’s Tersan Shipyard.

Rødvenfjord is the seventh ferry to be built by Tersan for Fjord1. It measures 107.47 by 17.7 metres and has capacity for 299 passengers and crew, 120 cars, and 12 trailers.

Tersan said the ferry can operate on fully electric, hybrid, or diesel-electric mode. An autonomous navigation system will enable the vessel to sail on the most optimum route during regular operations.
