The ceremonial raising of the flag on the last of four LNG-fueled ferries built for one of the biggest Norwegian Owners – Torghatten Nord AS took place in REMONTOWA SHIPBUILDING S.A on 8th of January 2013.
It was already eighth vessel built for this Owner. During three – years cooperation with the Owner we have constructed eight modern ferries of different propulsion, power of engine as well as range of served routes.
In mid – 2010 Shipyard started construction of two diesel powered, double – ended, car–passengers ferries. Since October 2011 these two vessels serve public transport in Tromsø region. 36 meters length ferries of modern design served by 3-persons crew take on board 47 passengers and 16 cars. Both ferries REBBENESØY and ULØYTIND were called as a result of unofficial competition among local community which is very satisfied with the use of ferries.
The construction of the second series of ferries Ro-Pax type completed on 10th of December 2011. Ferries VENGSØY and KVALØY have names of the islands situated in north part of Norway and serve car – passenger transport in this area. The ships can take on board 147 passengers and 21 cars.
In December 2012, construction of the next series of four modern, car – passenger ferries has been completed. The Gas Powered ferries meet restrictive, ecological rules regarding the emission of harmful substances to atmosphere.
Ferries LANDEGODE, VÆROY, BODØ, and LØDINGEN are designed for serving public transport in Lofted Archipelago region. Ferries can take on board 390 passengers and 120 cars.
The adoption of an unconventional propulsion using LNG fuel limiting the emission of harmful substances into the atmosphere, in the case of ferries serving the local connections between the islands, is indisputable advantage of these vessels.
Building of innovative gas powered ferries has become one of the main specialties of REMONTOWA SHIPBUILDING S.A. during last years.
The series of four, the latest generation ferries which has been just delivered to the biggest Norwegian Owner – Torghatten Nord A.S confirms strong position of REMONTOWA SHIPBUILDING S.A. on demanding Scandinavian market.
Vessel’s concept was created as a result of cooperation Norwegian Design office LMG and polish REMONTOWA Marine Design & Consulting Sp. z o.o.
