Vessel Description

The Lysefjord is a Norwegian passenger and vehicle ferry operating primarily in the Rogaland region of western Norway, serving the route between Stavanger and Tau across the Høgsfjord. The vessel is operated by Norled AS, one of Norway's leading ferry and express boat operators.

Built in 2008 by Fosen Mek. Verksteder AS in Rissa, Norway, the Lysefjord was purpose-designed for efficient short-sea ferry operations in Norwegian fjord conditions. The vessel employs a diesel-electric propulsion system with azipull thrusters, providing enhanced maneuverability suited to fjord navigation and port approach conditions.

The Lysefjord serves as an important transport link for both local commuters and tourists accessing the Lysefjord area, including visitors heading toward the famous Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) viewpoint. The vessel accommodates both passenger foot traffic and vehicles, making it a vital piece of regional infrastructure in Rogaland County.
