The ferry was built in Poland, 2012, and is LNG-powered.
HONFLEUR, the ropax ferry ordered by Brittany Ferries at Flensburger Schiffbau and completed by Fosen Yard in Rissa has been handed over to its owner Siem Industries (Seven Yield Pte Ltd)
The white ferry is expected in Gdynia, Poland for completion.
So far, we don’t know who the operator will be.
Ferry MALANGEN (Torghatten Nord AS ) will be rebuilt at the Fosen Yard
Haf Power Solutions AS will supply the hybrid system.
The suppliers to the hybrid system include Corvus Energy (battery packs), The Switch (frequency converters), ACEL (switchboard) and Høglund Marine Automation.
The ferry that was to become HONFLEUR for Brittany Ferries has left the Flensburg Shipyard on Sunday 25 October.
Tugs SVITZER THOR and CARLO MARTELLO are bringing the unfinished hull n°774 to Norway.
A contract between SIEM and Fosen Yard has been signed for the completion of the vessel.
Brittany Ferries said no to the much delayed HONFLEUR in June, when the problems at Flensburg yard took unhealthy proportions.
