Tersan in Turkey launches final hull in Norled’s record-breaking quartet
FerryOn 16 June, Tersan Shipyard in Turkey launched the hull of the final vessel in a series of four double-ended ferries being built for Norled. Each ferry has a gross tonnage of 3,405 and a length of 84.5 metres. The four newbuildings, which will be named SØHOLMEN, RISVÆR, KVITVÆR, and SJONA respectively, will be delivered in fully outfitted condition from Tersan Havyard in Norway within the second half of 2026.
The all-electric quartet will operate under a contract serving the route between Stokkvågen-Lovund, and Stokkvågen-Træna, an island located 30 nautical miles off the Norwegian coast. To meet the demands of this service, each ferry is equipped with an 8 MWh battery system, making them the Norwegian domestic ferries with the largest battery capacity currently installed.
