Submission + - World's first Ship Tunnel set for Construction
ytene writes: As reported by CNN, Norway is planning to build the world’s first ship tunnel.
It will cross beneath 1,700 metres of peninsula and enable vessels to avoid an area of sea that is notorious for stormy conditions and strange currents.
Costs are estimated at $330 million and will require an estimated 3-4 years to remove roughly 3 million cubic metres of rock.
In fact, the only question remains is whether it will become a new go-to location for superyacht owners tired of transiting the Corinth Canal in Greece?
