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.

@Ilovethebomb , interesting, since people seem to quote with pride the dropping of atomic bombs that are hailed as solution to end WW2 and Japanese atrocities in Asia.A little hypocrisy goes a long way.We never shy of mentioning Clark when promoting our good relations with China where economic profits are concerned.

I'm not sure how you go from Helen Clark to nuking Japan, but OK.

@Ilovethebomb , it sounded like an accusation by you that Clark (and Key by the way) visited China celebrating the end of a time when they suffered greatly under Japan.The West seems to have forgotten that but still glorifies other atrocities.War and most military actions are a disgrace to humanity and therefore as a follow on most military vehicles/machines are not only useless to common folks but also an utter waste of money.mas.to/@anna_lillith/115159225
