Two of the Fjord1 ferries are set to operate the route between Norway’s Brekstad and Valset, while the other will operate between the company’s Sandvikvåg to Husavik route.

NES also entered a deal with Remontowa Shipbuilding to provide two hybrid electric systems for two new ferries in November last year.

The contract is estimated to be worth around Nkr25m ($3m), and includes NES’ complete integrated DC-Grid system, generators and four battery packs, in addition to other equipment.

The new ferries will incorporate an LMG Marin 60-DEH design, and will be owned by Transport for London (TfL).
