Operating Region

Vessel Description

NCL VESTLAND is a modern Ro-Pax ferry operating under the Portuguese flag (Madeira registry) on behalf of Norwegian ferry operator Norled AS, serving domestic Norwegian coastal and fjord routes. The vessel was delivered in 2024 and is built to the Havyard LB27E design — a class known for its emphasis on low-emission, battery-hybrid propulsion, aligning with Norway's ambitious environmental targets for its maritime sector.

As part of Norled's fleet, NCL VESTLAND is designed to operate on fjord crossing and coastal route contracts, providing both passenger and vehicle (Ro-Pax) transport services. The Havyard LB27E class incorporates shore-based charging capability, allowing the vessel to reduce or eliminate diesel consumption on shorter crossings — a hallmark of modern Scandinavian green ferry procurement.

The Madeira (Portugal) flag registration, while common for vessels operating commercially under Norwegian contracts, reflects broader European ship registration practices.
