CRIST's shipyard in Gdynia delivered L-317, the third hybrid for the Finnish domestic traffic ferry operator, on 20 January 2023.

The 70.2 by 13.9 m ship will offer room for 200 passengers and space for 52 private vehicles (or a smaller number of trucks) across the Nauvo-Korppoo route.

The newbuild will primarily sail on batteries, recharged in a manner of minutes while berthed.

The Norwegian LMG Marin and the Polish StoGda Ship Design & Engineering co-designed the ferry.

Previously, CRIST constructed for FinFerries Elektra (2017), named EU first and the world's second hybrid ferry, and Altera (June 2022).
