The LNG powered fast ropax Megastar was delivered to Tallink from Meyer Turku Shipyard on Tuesday, 24 January according to the schedule.

Megastar will set a new standard for ferries on Helsinki-Tallinn route by customer comfort and environmentally friendly technical sophistication, the shipbuilder said in a statement.

When Megastar starts operation on the 29 January 2017, travelling between Helsinki and Tallinn, she will be the most advanced fast ferry in the Baltic Sea. Megastar is not just powered by environmentally friendly LNG (liquefied natural gas), but the ship also has an extremely advanced hull shape resulting in substantial fuel savings during the ship’s operation, the shipyard noted.
