On battery
– We have spent time planning the pr. today is likely to become the world’s largest hybrid ferry. It’s going to sneak into the harbor in Sandefjord; noise will be minimal when it runs on batteries, says Trond Kleivdal Finansavisen.
The ship is currently on the drawing board, but it will replace Color Lines oldest car and passenger ferry “Bohus” in 2020. When will “Bohus”, which has been upgraded several times, approaching 50 years. The new building will almost double the capacity and can carry 430 passenger units on a trip across the outer Oslofjord. Executive Vice President for Corporate Communications Helge Otto Mathisen says to smp.no that the uniqueness of this ferry is that it can recharge both shore and under overfaten. Thus, it can go longer on battery.

On board there will be space for 2,000 passasjerer.Flere shipyard has offered the construction of the 160 meter long ship, and according Kleivdal the company has now a “shortlist” of the most appropriate. He confirmed that Norwegian yards are among these, but will not say anything more about building price than that we are talking about a billion investment.
