The hypermodern $25 million ship is a joint project between the fertilizer company Yara and the maritime defense company Kongsberg Gruppen, which also excels at high-technology solutions to aerospace and offshore oil-and-gas companies. Even though the ship is three times as expensive as a regular cargo vessel of the same size, operating costs will be cut by 90 percent, as the electrically-powered ship need neither fuel nor crew.
"Clearly, it's time to be out first. We believe that this is the future. We think this can be of great importance, and some must be out first," Yara communications manager Kristin Nordal told the Norwegian daily Aftenposten, venturing that the Norwegian project was head and shoulders above its peers.
