Ny færge langsommere end kombifærge

Skrappe betingelser for godkendelse af Kattegatrutens nye hurtigfærge mellem Aarhus og Kalundborg betyder, at hurtigfærgen Dolphin Jet kun må sejle med en fart på 16 knob i Kalundborg Fjord, mens rederiets kombifærge må sejle 18-19 knob.

”Det groteske er, at mens der findes en bekendtgørelse om, at hurtigfærger skal have godkendt både rute og skib, så er der ingen krav om godkendelse af andre fartøjer”, siger havnedirektør Bent Rasmussen, Kalundborg Havn, til JP Aarhus.

Hele Kalundborg Fjord blev i 2010 udpeget som et naturbeskyttelsesområde - et såkaldt Natura 2000 område. Kravet til Dolphin Jet om at sænke farten sker især for at beskytte fugle, marsvin og sæler. I bunden af fjorden skal Dolphin Jet endda helt ned på 12 knob.

Overskibsinspektør i Søfartsstyrelsen, Martin John, siger til JP Aarhus, at kravet om regulering af hurtigfærger bl.a. skyldes, at de er konstrueret anderledes. De drives frem af turbiner, som udsender en anderledes støj end skibe med konventionel fremdrift med skruer.

Kattegatruten startede, efter mange forsinkelser, sin nye hurtigfærgerute mellem Aarhus og Kalundborg op den 21. juli.

Dolphin Jet har lagt ud med to daglige afgange fra både Aarhus og Kalundborg alle ugens syv dage, så man kan teste kundernes efterspørgsel. Den 13. august offentliggøre rederiet så en ny tidsplan.

Overfartstiden med Dolphin Jet er ca. 2 timer.
