Austal said the delivery voyage of a new 56m high-speed passenger ferry, for Förde Reederei Seetouristik (FRS Group) of Germany, is underway.
Hull 418 departed Austal Philippines shipyard in Cebu on 7 March 2018 and formal delivery and handover is anticipated upon arrival to FRS Group in Germany, in April.
On summer-like October 15, fast ferry HALUNDER JET made its last crossing from Hamburg to Helgoland, after 15 years of service. After a refit at Blohm & Voss, HALUNDER JET will be transferred to FRS subsidiary Clipper Navigation.
Helgoline, a company from the FRS group, will replace her next spring by a 56m newbuilding from Austal.
