First of Finnlines' Italian-built ferries set for delivery

摘要

A new fast ro-pax ferry, built by Fincantieri for Finnlines and launched towards the end of last year, is expected to be delivered imminently. The 217.60m long Finnstar is the first of five sisters - believed to be the largest and fastest of their type - ordered from the Italian group's Ancona and Castellammare di Stabia shipyards. She has been designed for the Finnish operator's long international services (thought to be mainly between Scandinavia and Germany), carrying passengers and road vehicles, and features a bulbous bow, transom stern, and an engineroom arranged amidship/aft of the superstructure.
