The new technology makes it possible to sail helelektrisk. Hybridmodellene to reduce CO2 emissions by 20 per cent.
- These ships will be able to sail completely silent and emissions free on battery for up to 30 minutes. But we have space for larger batteries. When they come, maybe within five–six years, it will be possible to sail up to seven hours on battery, ” says ceo Daniel Skjeldam in the Steamer to the VG.
According to the newspaper, Hurtigruten has worked with the Bellona foundation to make the new ships as environmentally friendly as possible. It also applies to the inside of the vessels with respect to the hotelldriften and energy efficiency.
Has invested billions of
- Is it more expensive to build these ships than in the past ship?
- We do not think it is natural to go into details on kontraktssummene and something will of course also depend on the sluttløsningene we choose for each of the ekspedisjonsskipene. However, there is a milliardinvestering and the largest contract Hurtigruten sometimes have made. In addition, we have signed an memorandum of understanding for the possible construction of two additional ships, ” says PR director Øystein Knoph in the Steamer.

We think it is very nice to work with a very capable Norwegian shipbuilding about to take up a new and eco-friendly generation with the expedition, he adds.
Raged against the interior
Earlier in our was the first of three ships, the MS “Kong Harald”, renewed – something that had both rice and praise for the interior. Three other ships have also been renewed in the year, and also get shore power to be more environmentally friendly.

of Course, we listen generally resistant to our guests in the Uk and abroad when we make changes. All product development in the Hurtigruten is innsiktsbasert and is about to do gjesteopplevelsen the best possible and unique, ” says Knoph.
But this time, Hurtigruten has taken a slightly different grip in their new ships and the two upcoming ships are designed differently than the ships that visit here in the country.
The new ships will primarily go in ekspedisjonsfart in the Arctic, the Antarctic and new destinations in exciting waters, at the same time as they are adapted also the conditions on the Norwegian coast, ” he says.
They describe even the interior of the two new ships that are unpretentious, but in the superior quality and that it should mirror the polar waters the ships sail in. Materials should be inspired by nature and mainly be Norwegian, including granite, oak and birch and wool.
