Australia based shipbuilding company Austal has recently delivered a new vehicle passenger ferry to Danish ferry operator Molslinjen. As informed, the ship, to be named Express 4, is the largest commercial ferry by volume Austal has ever built at its Henderson shipyard. Construction of the AUD 109 million (USD 79.2 million) ferry commenced in 2017, using an enhanced design based on the shipbuilder’s catamaran platform, but with a new optimized hull shape and vessel weight minimization solution to deliver better performance and greater fuel efficiency. The 109-meter vessel can carry up to 1,000 tons and is capable of transporting more than 1,000 passengers and 425 cars.
