For passenger vessels, Nova Shipyard has delivered aluminium hulls certified under EU Directive 2009/45/EC (Category B), currently operating in France and Ireland. We actively support European operators seeking passenger vessels compliant with either the EU Directive 2009/45/EC or the IMO High Speed Craft (HSC) Code, aligned with the relevant flag, class, and operational requirements.
