At 160 m legnth, 27,1 m width and a
draft of 6,0 m it will have almost double
the capacity of the ferry »Bohus«, which is
going to be phased out when the new ferry
will be put into operation in summer
2019. »Bohus« was built in 1971 as »Prinsessan
Desiree« for Sessan Linjen (now
Stena Line). The new ship will provide
significantly increased capacity on the
route between Norway and Sweden. The
new vessel can take on 2,000 passengers,
100 crew and 500 cars. The building cost
for the vessel amounted to 120 mill. €,
80% of funding was covered by DNB
Bank and the Norwegian Export Credit
Guarantee Agency.
»Color Hybrid« was built according to
Norwegian flag requirements and registered
in the Norwegian Ordinary Ship
Register (NOR). Color Line is currently
the only company in the international
passenger and freight traffic to and from
Norway with ships registered in the Norwegian
Ship Register and with Norwegian
headquarters.
»Color Hybrid« will be servicing Sandefjord
– Strömstad from summer 2019.
Even before the ship has been built, she
has earned her first award. At the opening
ceremony of the Nor-Shipping exhibition
in 2017, the ship was appointed
the winner of the Next Generation Ship
Award. With a focus on innovation, the
award honours the most promising design
on ships that will be launched in the
coming decade. According to the jury,
the vessel demonstrates the innovation
and ambition that are pushing the
maritime industry forward to a greener,
more profitable and more sustainable
future. fs
