Recent reports indicate that the Norled A/S double-ended ferry HARDINGEN has been sold to a Greek ferry operator. The vessel is a sister ship of MØYSALEN, which was recently acquired by Kerkyra Seaways. This connection suggests that Kerkyra Seaways might also be the purchaser of HARDINGEN.
HARDINGEN previously operated on the Lyngseidet-Olderdalen route. Her three sister ships are VIKINGEN, SVANØY, and GÖKÇEADA I.
Currently, HARDINGEN is laid up at the port of Sandnes and is slated for delivery within January 2024. She has a carrying capacity of 399 passengers and 90 cars and is capable of cruising at a speed of 13.6 knots.
