May 3, 2025

It is reported that the A-Ships Management ferry GALAXY has been chartered to the Faroese Strandfaraskip Landsins for a 10-week period starting from 8 September 2025. The ship will replace SMYRIL on the Tórshavn–Tvøroyri route.

GALAXY was previously chartered by the same company in 2017, though for a shorter period. She was built in Poland in 1979. Her carrying capacity is 900 passengers (though she will operate with a maximum of 350 during the charter) and 520 lane metres. Her service speed is 19 knots.
