The vessel will join the existing fleet being operated by United Global Ro-Ro and will be deployed mostly on routes within the Middle East, Asia and the Mediterranean
The route that the ferry will serve – between Norddeich and the island of Norderney on the East Frisian coast – called for the development of a unique vessel.
Norsepower and Swedish shipowner Stena Line have signed an agreement for the delivery of two Norsepower Rotor Sails™ on an all-new methanol hybrid newbuild RoRo vessel.
The vessel is designed by Ulstein Design & Solutions AS for ‘walk-to-work’ (W2W) operations, where personnel walks via a motion-compensated gangway from the ship to a wind turbine.
