STX Finland Oy’s Rauma Shipyard started a production of a
Double Ended newbuilding no. 1380 for Finferries, on Tuesday, December
13.
Delivery of the 65-metre vessel is planned for the end of 2012.
The double ended and environmentally friendly passenger ferry will
operate in Turku Archipelago, Finland, on the Korpo – Houtskär route.
The length and challenging ice conditions will set special requirements
to the performance of the vessel. Particular attention has been given to
the efficiency and safety of the ferry that will enter traffic at the
beginning of 2013.
Timo Suistio, Director of STX Rauma shipyard, explained that the construction process will be undertaken rapidly and the keel of the ferry will be laid in spring 2012.
