Vessel Description

ARTEMIS ATHENE is a Norwegian-flagged passenger ferry constructed in 1990 by Leirvik Sveis og Mek Verksted in Leirvik, Norway. The vessel was designed for domestic passenger ferry operations along the western Norwegian coast, serving fjord and coastal routes typical of the Norwegian short-sea ferry network. Operating under Norled AS, the vessel is suited for high-frequency, short-route passenger transport in the sheltered and semi-exposed coastal waters of western Norway. With a capacity for 744 passengers and a length of 114.3 metres, she represents a mid-sized coastal passenger ferry configured for the demanding operational requirements of Norwegian fjord navigation, including frequent berthing and passenger turnaround in variable weather conditions.
