Captain Morgan orders four new ferries

摘要

Maltese tourism company Captain Morgan has ordered four ferries from UK shipbuilder Wight Shipyard. The order, from Captain Morgan Holdings, a subsidiary of Fortina Investments, consists of two 20m and two 33m catamarans, all to be designed by One2Three Naval Architects. Peter Morton, CEO, Wight Shipyard, based on the Isle of Wight, said: "We have been working with One2Three to develop lighter, more fuel-efficient ferries with the subsequent reduction in fuel costs. The operators see the long-term benefits in using less fuel and thereby reducing carbon emissions. We are also working to integrate the boarding design for the ancient wharves and docks of the towns of Malta.
