Western Marine Shipyard received an order from Hundested-Rorvig Faergefart A/S, Denmark, for a highly maneuverable roll-on-roll-off (ro-ro) passenger & vehicle ferry to connect the towns Rørvig and Hundested. This export deal marked the first time Bangladesh had ever exported a passenger ship to the European market. This vessel also has remote operating capabilities for ease of use from offboard computers. This project was completed and delivered in 2013 and has been navigating Danish channels every since.
