The vessels will enter service from October 2013, operating along the west coast of Norway.
The company said that the Environship concept vessels incorporate a striking wave piercing bow, gas-powered engines and propulsion system, improve the overall performance of the vessel and increase fuel efficiency by up to 18%.
The vessels also virtually eliminate SOx and reduce CO2 emissions by more than 40% compared with similar conventional ships.
The order includes options to build an additional two vessels of the same design.
