Torghatten has secured a new 13-year contract to continue operating the Melbu–Fiskebøl ferry route in Northern Norway, successfully retaining all of its ferry contracts in the region awarded during the first half of 2026.
The route, linking Hadseløya in Vesterålen with Austvågøya in Lofoten, will be gradually electrified as part of efforts to reduce emissions and support the green transition of Norwegian ferry transport.
Torghatten also confirmed that its newbuild MF HADSEL will be deployed on the crossing. The vessel is expected to enter service next year, providing passengers and crew with a modern, future-oriented ferry.
