A world's first with a Dutch touch

摘要

On 17 December 2012, the first ever hybrid seagoing ferry was launched in Port Glasgow, Scotland, by the Scottish Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon. The vessel is the first of two hybrid ferries for Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd. (CMAL) currently under construction at Ferguson Shipyard. To make this world's first happen, CMAL turned to Rotterdam-based system integrator and service provider Imtech Marine.
