Title: New ferry
Post by: Lanedre on July 10, 2010, 21:47:34

what do you think of this new car ferry they are going to build for a ferry route here in Norway?
It is designed for managing high seas and bad weather, it will have a capacity of 21cars and 146 passengers.
They will start the steel work in September this year and she will be delivered October 2011
I think it looks like a orca/ killer whale

Unusual design - not seen anything quite like that before.

Look forward to seeing the real thing
