Torghatten Midt, a subsidiary of the Norwegian shipping company Torghatten, has contracted the Polish shipyard to deliver a double-ended ro-pax, set to sail between the islands of Dønna and Herøy in Norway.

The vessel, with room for 249 passengers and space for 91 vehicles (including up to six trucks), will be powered by four generators able to run on 100% renewable diesel. The ferry will also house an air-cooled battery pack for peak shaving (which within a few years will be replaced by water-cooled batteries to enable all-electric operations).

Remontowa Shipbuilding is expected to hand over the newbuild in Q2 2028. It will be the tenth ferry constructed by the shipyard for Torghatten.

The ferry was designed by The Norwegian Ship Design Company.
