Tulcea-based shipyard Aker is expected to build the bodies of five gas powered ferries by the end of 2006.
According to a release from Aker Yards, the ship bodies will be assembled by Aker Brattvaag, a subsidiary of the Norwegian group Aker. The ships will be 129.5 meters in length and 19.2 in width.
The Aker group was the first in the world to build a ferry using gases instead of oil in 2000.
Aker is one of the leading ship builders worldwide. The Fjord 1 group is controlled by two local councils in Norway.
