Torghatten Nord signs a contract with Western Baltija Shipbuilding for an all-electrically operated ferry
FerryTorghatten Nord signed a contract with Klaipeda-based Western Baltija Shipbuilding to build an all-electrically operated ferry based on a design by the Norwegian Ship Design Company. The vessel will measure 73.3 metres in length, have a 14.3 metre width and will accommodate 50 vehicles and 199 passengers.
The ferry will daily provide a lifeline service between the town of Svolvær and the small island of Skrova in Lofoten. During the summer, the ferry will also cross the Vestfjord and travel to Skutvik on the mainland. This two-hour crossing over the exposed Vestfjord is a major tourist attraction.
Completion is scheduled for the first quarter of 2026.
