Australian ferry firm Ro-Pax has selected Wärtsilä as its choice of engine and fuel gas supply systems for its two new vessels.
Renowned Australian ferry fleet owner and operator TT-Line Company placed the order with Wärtsilä in June 2021. The ships are being built in Finland at the Rauma Marine Constructions (RMC) yard.
