Estonia's Tallink has revealed a new order worth EUR 250m ($287m) for an LNG-fuelled shuttle ferry.

It has picked Rauma Marine Constructions in Finland to build the vessel for delivery at the end of 2021.

The ship will travel between Tallinn and Helsinki.

The deal will guarantee 1,500 man-years of employment for Rauma.

LNG will be the main fuel, but the ship can also use conventional bunkers.
