Hurtigruten’s ambition is to develop a zero-emission ship for the costal route from Bergen to Kirkenes. The project is close to 130MNOK and in close cooperation with several Norwegian maritime suppliers, including Brunvoll.

We could have waited for others to develop the technology, but Norway would then miss a great opportunity,” says Hedda Felin, CEO in Hurtigruten Norge.
