24. Next generation small ferries • EU funded Small Ferries Project – Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland • Looked at a number of routes across the regions and concluded that working together on a number of common designs and with joint procurement can produce significant benefits. • Development of Hybrid Ferry design – Type B
