Vard Holdings will build two LNG-powered passenger ferries for Norway’s Torghatten Nord.
The shipbuilder has signed a NOK 600m ($70m) contract for the duo, due for delivery in the third and fourth quarter of 2018.
Roy Reite, chief executive of Vard, said: “Vard has long experience in building LNG-powered and dual fuel vessels.
“We delivered the world’s first LNG-powered car and passenger ferry back in 2000 and have delivered a broad range of ships using this innovative technology since, including offshore vessels, ferries and a fish feed carrier.”
