China’s Guangzhou Shipyard International (GSI) is to construct an LNG-powered ro-pax ferry for Swedish operator Rederi AB Gotland.

 

The US$134.9 million ferry, which will have the capacity for 1,650 passengers when it is delivered in 2017, will become the first Swedish-flagged passenger vessel powered by LNG.

GSI Shipyard delivered Visby and Gotland to Rederi AB Gotland in 2003.
