In May 2007 Remontowa S.A. has signed the
contract with Norwegian Owner “Fjord 1 MRF” for designing, construction and
delivery of four Car Passenger Ferries. According to contract, the deliveries
will be finalized between December 2009 and August 2010.
The Remontowa Group has more than ten years
experience in designing and construction of car passenger ferries of different
types and capacities for West European market – the Norwegian Clients are one
of the key and perspective Clients for Remontowa Group. The ferries have been designed in cooperation
between Remontowa Design Office and LMG Marin. The Project presents new
generation of the vessels, gas fuelled, which is very important due to
environmental protection and which is fulfilling very restrictive international
regulations concerning the level of unacceptable emissions.
The vessels have symmetric, double ended
hull with continuous deck for private cars and trucks – with access via
hydraulically operated ramps and additional tween deck with two car lines on starboard side. The passenger lounge, HC restroom and number
of passenger restrooms are provided. The propulsion system is of Gas/Diesel Electric
type with azimuth thrusters mounted on each end of the vessel. The electricity
will be produced by three generating sets: two of them LNG gas fuelled and one
spare – regular diesel type. The vessels are highly automatic and
optimized in respect of number of crew and fuel consumption.
The names of the vessels are :
- Moldefjord
- Fannefjord
- Romsdalsfjord
- Korsfjord
