flag Gotlandsbolaget has begun construction on the Horizon X, a 130-meter hydrogen-ready high-speed catamaran ferry built by Austal, set for delivery in 2029. flag The vessel, designed for the Gotland–mainland Sweden route, will carry 1,500 passengers and 400 cars, operating at up to 30 knots. flag Powered by a multi-fuel system including gas and steam turbines with waste heat recovery, it can run on LNG, bio-LNG, methanol, biodiesel, and eventually 100% hydrogen. flag The ferry will feature Kongsberg Maritime’s new S-4L waterjet propulsion system, the first commercial use of the series, enhancing efficiency and maneuverability. flag The project supports Sweden’s 2045 zero-emission goal and reflects broader industry efforts toward decarbonization.
