Mooi hoor. Een volledig emissievrij elektrisch passagiersschip de Future of The Fjords dat in 2018 in de vaart komt.
Het schip, dat momenteel gebouwd wordt door rederij Brødrene Aa, wordt aangedreven door een elektromotor van 300 kilowatt en biedt ruimte voor 400 passagiers.
De kosten voor de Future of The Fjords bedragen zo’n 15 miljoen Euro.

The Fjords DA has confirmed that is building a sister ship to the striking diesel-electric plug-in hybrid Vision of the Fjords, launched in 2016. However, unlike its predecessor, this 42m long carbon fibre vessel will be all electric and completely emission free. The aptly named Future of the Fjords launches in April 2018.
Currently under construction at specialist shipbuilder Brødrene Aa, the new vessel retains Vision of the Fjords’ eye-catching ‘mountain path’ design and environmentally friendly build, with a hull that minimises wake and reduces shoreline impact erosion. It too offers up to 400 passengers jaw dropping panoramic views of the Western Norwegian fjords, with a guaranteed 1m each of railing on deck for a unique ‘front row’ experience of nature.
