In Summer 2024, Doolin Ferry will launch its new eco-friendly ship, setting a new standard for sustainable passenger ferry travel in Ireland.

Environmental responsibility is at the forefront of the new build. Accordingly, green technologies have been employed in the design which will result in reduced emissions and less fuel consumption.

The new ship will be fitted with solar panels and energy-efficient LED lighting while the advanced hull coatings with a lifespan of 10 years eliminate the need for frequent repaints, further reducing environmental impact.
