Aspects environnementaux
The main environmental advantage of sea transport is that it produces less carbon dioxide than road transport and prevents additional traffic congestion. The ferry will also comply with the provisions of the IMO (International Maritime Organization) conventions on passenger safety and the restriction of sea pollution, in particular MARPOL (the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships).
Passation des marchés
A single contract to design and build the ferry will be awarded following an international call for tenders published in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU). A call for expressions of interest with a view to selecting the ferry’s operator was published in the OJEU of 22.04.2004.
