Brødrene Aa win this year´s Shippax Award
AERO 1 Highspeed was honoured with the SHIPPAX Fast Ferry Award 2023 in a special ceremony during the annual SHIPPAX Ferry Conference.
The award committee noted that:
“After several years without newbuilt fast ferries for the Greek domestic market, the AERO 1 HIGHSPEED contributes a truly innovative approach, uniting sustainability with a so far unknown degree of passenger comfort in the Saronic Islands trade. The aerodynamic and energy-efficient design, complemented by an extremely light construction of carbon fibre, contributes to reduce fuel consumption and air emissions.
AERO 1 HIGHSPEED at the same time has a modern design and innovative features that significantly upgrade the travel experience for passengers. Spacious accommodation, large windows, designated facilities for passengers with reduced mobility and a dedicated area for bicycle transportation are characteristics of a forward-thinking design tailored to the requirements of a rather diverse passenger target audience comprising commuters just as much as tourists”.
High quality transportation
The AERO 1 Highspeed is the first of three vessels that Brødrene Aa has built for Attica Group. Each with a maximum speed of 32.2 knots at full load, total length 36 meters, width 9.7 meters and carrying capacity of 150 passengers.
- We are proud that AERO 1 Higshspeed has been awarded this exeptional distinction by Shippax, and we would like to take this opportunity to thank our partners and co-winners in the Attica Group for an excellent collaboration on innovation at sea, Tor Øyvin Aa, CEO of Brødrene Aa says.
