Each ferry would measure 200 metres in length by 28 metres wide, with room for more than 1500 passengers, 70 crew, and 2.4 kilometres of lanes for trucks, cars and rail wagons.

The vessels would be diesel-electric hybrids with batteries, designed to reduce emissions and environmental impact.

I'm glad the hybrid power train was carried over from the previous design, it means the ferries could potentially do a crossing solely on battery power.

No information on whether they will be a plug in hybrid.
