The Münsterland is a car ferry , which is mainly operated on the connection between Eemshaven and Borkum . Occasionally the ferry is also used in traffic to Emden . The ship transports people, goods and vehicles.
Following a funding commitment from the federal government in November 2018, the shipping company also put out a tender for the Münsterland to extend and retrofit to an LNG drive, as has been in use on the sister ship Ostfriesland, which was completed in 1985, since 2015 . The conversion will take place at the Koninklijke Niestern Sander shipyard in Farmsum , where construction of the new aft ship began in May 2020.
