Published in association with Interferry, the Ferry Business section of the Autumn/Winter 2023 issue of Cruise & Ferry Review offers insights from brand executives and other key stakeholders across the global ferry industry.
Interferry CEO Mike Corrigan opens the section with his regular commentary, explaining why the sustainability will take centre stage at the association’s upcoming conference in Tasmania in November.
Another highlight is a featured interview with TT-Line Company’s Bernard Dwyer, who discusses the two next-generation Spirit of Tasmania ro-pax ferries. In addition, Simon Johnson asks four ferry operators how they are continuing to deliver an excellent customer experience in a roundtable discussion.
Our ferry order book previews the notable ferry newbuilds entering service, while Brett Crowther explains how Incat Crowther delivers high-quality vessels for European ferry operators. Interferry’s Johan Roos, meanwhile, explains how electric vehicle fires at sea can be successfully contained.
Elsewhere, Irish Ferries’ Andrew Sheen explains how the brand is making its ships more sustainable, Francis Portelli discusses Virtu Ferries’ role in providing vital services for Malta and Abby Penlington of Discover Ferries predicts that new technologies are set to improve the ferry industry’s carbon footprint.
Michael Grey concludes the issue by exploring the effect financial pressures are having on ferry operators’ ability to provide reliable backups to their regular vessels.
Enjoy the issue!
