Ferry operator Fjord1 has contracted Norwegian Electric Systems to deliver two onshore charging stations for use by the four autonomous, zero-emission ferries that will operate the Lavik-Oppedal crossing on the west coast of Norway.
One onshore charging station will be installed at the berth in Lavik and the other in Oppedal. Lavik-Oppedal is a 5.6-kilometre-long ferry route that crosses the Sognefjord, on the west coast of Norway. The ferries will be close to fully charged in approximately ten minutes while at port.
