Balearia has ordered two dual fuel ferries at Italy’s Cantiere Navale Visentini in a deal worth EUR 200m ($215.4m).

The Spanish ferry operator says the two ro-pax newbuildings are expected to be operational towards the end of 2018.

Principal particulars include a length of 186.5 metres, a capacity for 810 people, 2,180 linear meters of cargo and 150 cars.

The ships will have a top speed of 24 knots thanks to two dual-fuel engines with a total power capacity of 20,600 KW.
