V.Ships has clinched a crew management deal for what it called the world's first LNG-fuelled fast ferry with Spain's Balearia.
The UK group's V.Ships Leisure division will supply seafarers in March following completion of the 1,200-passenger, 15,000-gt Eleanor Roosevelt at the Armon shipyard in Spain.
The ship, which can also carry 500 vehicles and cargo, was ordered in 2018 at a cost of €90m ($102m) and was originally set for handover in June 2020.
