Adria-based CNV (former Cantiere Navale Vittoria) and Trapani-based Cantiere Navale Giacalone have been awarded contracts to build 17 new ferries for ACTV, the public transport company of Venice and part of AVM (Azienda Veneziana della Mobilità).
CNV will construct four vessels for approximately EUR 15 million.
Giacalone will build 13 hybrid ferries for almost EUR 34 million.
The newbuildings will operate on passenger services in the Venice lagoon.
ACTV recently also launched a public tender to acquire a second-hand double-ended ferry for lagoon deployment.
