Key specifications:
- Length overall: 210 m
- Capacity: 3,000 passengers (cabins), 730 cars, 170 trucks
- Service speed: 24 knots
- Propulsion: Electric plant with dual-fuel diesel/methanol generators, azimuth thrusters, and batteries for peak-shaving, spinning reserve, and zero-emission port operations
Designed to set a new benchmark
- Reliability – Redundant systems and advanced machinery for uninterrupted service
- Performance – Excellent seakeeping and manoeuvrability
- Flexibility – Adaptable layouts for future market and regulatory needs
- Sustainability – Low-emission energy solutions, including methanol readiness
CTN is expected to launch a public tender for the construction of the vessel, opening an important opportunity for shipyards to contribute to the next generation of sustainable Mediterranean ferry operations.
