Ferry Transaction Between Boreal And Norled
Boreal is buying the three ferries HARDANGER, RYFYLKE and BJØRNEFJORD from Norled.
Boreal needs these ferries because the Stavanger-based company won several public contracts.
HARDANGER and RYFYLKE are currently in service on the Stavanger-Tau route, which will be closed when the Ryfast tunnel opens at the end of this year.
Boreal wants to convert the ferries into battery operation after acquisition.
BJØRNEFJORD is a smaller commuter ferry built in 1990.
In addition to the purchase of the three ferries from Norled, Boreal has five electric vessels under construction.
