With numerous ferry projects lined up in the not so distant future, Danish naval architects OSK-ShipTech A/S welcome a very experienced naval architect with more than 18 years of design experience: German Naval Architect Carsten Ortloff.
He will join OSK-ShipTech in February. Carsten comes from Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft, where he has held the role of responsible naval architect for several ro-ro and ro-pax projects (Smyril Line, BC Ferries, Irish Ferries, CMAL…).
The general order increase is spilling over to sister company Steen Friis Design, who is experiencing high demand for interior design services and interior concepts. The company is looking to hire more interior designers.
C-Job Naval Architects has delivered the concept design of a series of five sustainable car and passenger ferries to the City of Amsterdam. The 41m vessels will operate 100% on electricity.
The electric ferries will recharge their batteries during the unloading and loading of passengers and vehicles. This will only take 4 minutes, with no overnight charging required. To guarantee continuous operation the vessels will also have a diesel generator.
The ferries can carry up to 20 cars, four trucks or 400 passengers.
