New building in Flensburg

Keel laying for newbuilding 784 The first module of the newbuilding number 784, weighing more than 154 tonnes, was lowered onto the pier by crane in a traditional keel laying ceremony at Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft (FSG). In keeping with maritime custom, a coin was placed on top of the bollard as a lucky charm for the RoRo ferry to be built. The nails were hammered into the keel laying plate by Philipp Maracke (Managing Director of FSG Nobiskrug Holding), Chas Kelly (CEO SeaRoad), Tony Johnson (Technical Marine Manager SeaRoad), and Dustin Lind, the youngest apprentice at FSG. The ferry will be fuelled with LNG. With this new order, SeaRoad is continuing...

Cruise emission-free - a luxury?

Norway's government has decided that from 2026, ships that still use fossil fuels will no longer be allowed to enter the country's fjords. This - quite rightly - puts designers and shipowners under pressure. But the solution is already on the drawing board - at least for the luxury segment of coastal cruises in the north of Europe: The shipping company Northern Xplorer (Oslo) has had a ship drawn by the Norwegian architecture company Multi Maritime AS (Fœrde - three fjords north of Bergen) and intends to build and commission it by the set deadline.

Jet Shark - Fast Fun! Or even more?

The two New Zealanders Rob Innes and Dan Piazza started out 25 years ago as Innespace, later Innespace Productions in Northern California, with small, fast and also limited submersible watercraft of various propulsion types.
