NB112 — JOLLY FRANCE

NB112 — Jolly France (also known as Autrement) is a 32.21-metre marine grade aluminium passenger vessel built by Nova Shipyard for Compagnie Maritime Jolie France, based in Granville, Manche. Operating on the Granville — Channel Islands route under French flag with Bureau Veritas classification.

Sister ship to NB111 Cliffs of Moher Express, she shares the same proven hull design and high-performance propulsion package: twin Baudouin 16M33.3 engines (2,100 hp each) with ZF 5055A gearboxes and CJR fixed-pitch propellers, delivering 22 knots maximum speed.

First of her series, this 31-metre passenger vessel was commissioned to meet new European regulations. She represents Nova Shipyard's growing track record with European passenger ferry operators and the ability to deliver series-built aluminium passenger craft to the highest standards. The owner has already placed an order for a sister vessel, currently under construction.
