Polish Shipyard Awarded Contract for New Estonia Ferry

The Polish shipyard, CRIST S.A., has been selected to design and construct a new ferry for Estonia’s largest islands, Saaremaa and Hiiumaa. The contract, valued at 49.93 million euros, secures the shipbuilding project for the maritime region. The new ferry will replace the existing Regula, which has been serving as a replacement vessel on both routes.

The current Regula ferry is scheduled for retirement at the end of 2028, marking the anticipated completion date for the new vessel. The project aims to ensure continued and reliable ferry service for passengers traveling between the two islands. The design and construction contract encompasses all necessary aspects of the ferry’s development.

Representatives from the Estonian maritime authorities confirmed that CRIST S.A.’s proposal presented the most competitive offer for this vital transportation link. The new ferry is expected to operate according to a pre-determined schedule, prioritizing passenger transport needs. Further details regarding specifications and operational timelines will be released as the project progresses.
