The Norwegian Public Roads Administration has issued a new tender for the Halsa-Kanestraum connection. This 20-minute ferry crossing connects the E39 between Møre og Romsdal and Trøndelag.
The start of the new 10-year contract is in 2021.
The three ferries that connect the connection today will have to be replaced by larger, environmental-friendly ferries. There will be more crossings too, 24/7.
In the new contracts, 95 per cent of the energy consumption must be emission-free
The route is actually operated by three Fjord1 ferries: SVANOY, RAUMA and ROMSDAL.
