50-Tonne Carbon Car Deck
The strong carbon fibre vehicle deck takes eight cars — or a single 50-tonne truck — turning a fast passenger ferry into a true ro-ro workboat.

Ro-Ro Cargo & Passenger Fast Ferry
The Vessel
The FERRY 37 is a 36.7 m ro-ro cargo and passenger fast ferry — 73 passengers and space for 8 cars, built in carbon fibre sandwich and approved for operation in seas up to Hs 4 m.
Delivered in 2021 to a Norwegian county ferry operator, she is a versatile vessel designed to handle the various needs of the local communities in the region — and with its strong carbon fibre deck, she can carry a 50-tonne truck.

Design Highlights

The strong carbon fibre vehicle deck takes eight cars — or a single 50-tonne truck — turning a fast passenger ferry into a true ro-ro workboat.
Certified to operate in significant wave heights up to four metres, she keeps the schedule running when the Norwegian coast turns rough.
Two MAN LE438 engines of 882 kW each drive controllable-pitch propellers through Servogear HD 295 H gearboxes — 26 knots service speed with load to spare.
Forward of the car deck, a bright saloon with high-back seating and large windows keeps 73 passengers comfortable on every crossing.
On Board
High-back seats face panoramic windows, with a refreshment counter and W.C. amidships — and a raised wheelhouse keeping watch over the bow.
