Estonia's Tallink has signed a loan agreement worth EUR 197.6m ($222m) to finance its new LNG-powered fast ferry.
The company sealed a deal with Germany's KfW IPEX-Bank for the vessel, which is being built at Rauma Marine Constructions in Finland.
Finnish export credit agency Finnvera is guaranteeing 95% of the sum.
The loan is secured by a mortgage on the new vessel.
