The world’s most environmentally friendly car and passenger ferry Aurora Botnia is leaving for her maiden voyage at the end of August. It is designed and built for the route Vaasa–Umeå and all the public spaces and passenger cabins are designed by Kudos.
The ferry is equipped with the latest environmental technology and runs on climate-smart renewable fuels. The cabins and public spaces are decorated using recycled materials. E.g. the table tops and counters are made from recycled plastic, and the cabin carpets contain fibres from recycled fishing nets.
The ship is significantly more environmentally friendly than the current requirements, which makes it the first car and passenger ferry in the world to meet the criteria of the Clean Design class notation.
