Croatia gets new ferry

Croatia?s national ferry line, Jadrolinjia, has added the ?Biokovo? to its fleet. This newly built double-ended ferry was the eleventh ferry to have been received by the company in the past five years. Built by Brodosplit Shipyard for $14 million, the vessel can accommodate up to 1,300 passengers and 138 cars and has a maximum speed of 13 knots. The new ferry will be deployed on a route between Split and Supetar. Jadrolinjia will take delivery of its twelfth vessel in April 2010.
