Baird Maritime reported on 13 November 2026 that Fjord1 has taken delivery of Skagastøl, the first in a planned group of four battery-hybrid vessels for the E39 Lavik–Oppedal crossing in Western Norway. The ferry’s voyage from Turkey to Norway will cover approximately 3,700 nautical miles, and her progress will be affected by weather and sea conditions. Fjord1 said the work after arrival will include testing the systems and training the crew.
Deliveries of the remaining three vessels will follow through winter and spring. Each new ferry will enter service individually after preparation and initial testing. Each of the four vessels will accommodate 120 passenger-car equivalents and 399 passengers. The vessels will remain crewed.
