KNUD E. HANSEN was in conjunction with the Ferry Shipping Conference 06 announced as the winner of the ShipPax Award in the category “Outstanding Ferry Exterior”.
KNUD E. HANSEN design M/S SMYRIL for Strandfaraskip Landsin won the prize with the following comments, “In an age of boxy-looking ferries created in the quest for ever greater efficiency and revenue earning potential, it comes as blessed relief to see the warm beauty of a handsome and functional vessel with smooth hull lines built to serve in an area known for harsh climate.”
The vessel is sailing the North Atlantic and will be presented in detail in ShipPax Design 06 plus other leading magazines.
