A steel cutting ceremony for the vessel NB1137 was held on October 20, according to the shipbuilder’s social media update.
The zero-emission ferry is part of Fjord1’s four-unit order from early 2024. Said to be the world’s first, the new ferries are expected to “revolutionize coastal transport, combining efficiency, safety, and innovation”.
