Vessel Description

A Norwegian passenger and vehicle ferry built in 1982 by Ankerlokken Verft in Floro, Norway. The vessel operates primarily within the western Norwegian fjord network, notably serving the Geirangerfjord area, which is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Operating under the Fjord1 fleet, the vessel is configured for short-sea passenger and vehicle transport, characteristic of the Norwegian coastal ferry infrastructure. The hull design reflects the shallow-draft requirements typical of fjord navigation, allowing access to mountainous fjord terminals with limited port infrastructure.
