DSD Shipping-owned Norled has contracted another ferry newbuilding in Norway.

Brokers said the Norwegian owner has signed up for a 2,200-cgt vessel at Oma Baatbyggeri.

It will carry 300 passengers from March 2020. No price was given for the deal.

In October the company ordered three ro-paxes at Sembcorp Marine in Singapore.

The battery-powered ferries are due for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2020.
