C&F 65 INTERVIEW Sanguine times Mike Grainger, managing director of Liferaft Systems Australia, chairman of TT-Line Spirit of Tasmania and chairman of Interferry, Ferry Business chats to Jon Ingleton about the future of the ferry industry What are the greatest challenges a shortage of slots for operators who are What are the big opportunities? currently facing ferry operators? contemplating newbuild programmes. This The opportunities are significant for ferry New emission regulations come into effect is particularly true in the high-speed sector owners who operate their vessels with a high in 2020, forcing many ferry operators to where builders like Incat and Austal have degree of safety and high level of customer make some significant decisions about recently received orders for large high-speed satisfaction.

It seems that new tonnage will no doubt reap the benefits to maintain compliance with several new lead times are extending with the larger, of a strong economy in their respective International Maritime Organization more versatile yards having several contracts geographical routes. We are seeing some of (IMO) regulations, such as those relating for newbuilds to be delivered in 2022 and the major European owners amalgamating, to ballast water management and stability. beyond.

The global economy seems to be improving, which is also providing opportunities for ferry owners to expand and take advantage of tourist dollars. How do you think alternative modes of transport will impact the growth of sea travel in future? Alternative modes of transport aren’t necessarily increasing; governments will always build bridges and airlines will always cater for the needs of their particular industry sector. However, we’ve recently seen that the new generation of ferry transport can (in most cases) compete with bridges or airlines. The Great Belt Bridge in Denmark – which has a toll of €32.00 (US$36) per car – is an example where ferry operations in the area are actually increasing. We have witnessed ” The future looks promising for ferry owners, operators, builders, designers and suppliers” 66 International Cruise & Ferry Review Today’s ferries are safer, stronger and more efficient, economic and environmentally friendly than ever before some amalgamation of ferry operators and process and overall, I believe it’s doing important part in sustainability, therefore new tonnage being introduced in Denmark, things properly.
