ROVDEHORN and SKOPPHORN are the 7th and 8th ferry built by Havyard for Fjord1. In total, 13 ships have been ordered. The hulls are built in Turkey, the outfitting is done in Norway.
The two ferries were built to enter service on 1 January 2020, on the route Magerholm – Sykkylven.
Regular crossings will be on battery, however, if needed there is a backup with biofuel.
The ferries are equipped with four engines from Norwegian Electric Systems, who also supplied power systems, switchboards etc.. The propulsion system comes from Kongsberg and the batteries are from Corvus and NES.
