Fjord1 and Tersan disclosed the shipbuilding deal on February 27, stating that the new battery-powered autonomous double-ended ferries would revolutionize coastal transport, integrating efficiency, innovation, and safety. These zero-emission ferries will operate between Oppedal and Lavik in Norway from September 1, 2026.
