The shipbuilder from Poland will construct a double-ended passenger-car hybrid vessel for the Norwegian ferry company.

The 63.65 by 15.5 m vessel, designed by the Norwegian Ship Design Company, will serve the Stornes-Bjørnerå crossing once delivered in Q1 2026. She will offer room for 149 passengers and space for 50 vehicles.

The newbuild will be equipped with two azimuth thrusters powered by batteries (or a backup diesel generator), which will be loaded during port calls.

It will be the ninth ferry delivered by Remontowa Shipbuilding to Torghatten Nord. The company launched six electric ferries in 2018-2021. The Torghatten Nord order ups Remontowa's order book to six turnkey vessels (the company also works on five units for the Polish Navy).
