Vessel Description

GOTUNES is a roll-on/roll-off passenger ferry operating under the flag of the Faroe Islands for the national ferry operator Strandfaraskip Landsins (SSL). Built in 2017 at the Cemre shipyard in Turkey, the vessel was purpose-built for inter-island service in the challenging North Atlantic weather conditions of the Faroe Islands. The vessel is designed to carry both passengers and vehicles, providing an essential public transport link between the Faroese islands. As a diesel-electric vessel, she offers operational efficiency suited to the relatively short but demanding inter-island crossings characteristic of the Faroese archipelago.
