For Anne Gine Hestetun this was the first ferry and ship christening after she took over the mayor chain in county this fall.

– This is very special and something that I’ve never experienced before. It is also not very often you get new ferries in traffic in Hordaland. Last time it was ferjedåp was actually M / F “Selbjørnsfjorden” five years ago. It runs between Halhjem in Os and minke Paths.



– Milestone for people Utne

– This is a milestone, not least for people in Utne that in one month Time has had a degraded vacation offers, but now suddenly get the county’s most modern ferry, says Anne Gine Hestetun.

Lars Jacob Engelsen in Norled advocated modernizing tendering processes so that it gets the balance right between renovation and reuse of good existing ferries. It provides both quick results in relation to the environment and responsible overall economy, he points.

– we think there has been a positive development from the first tender competitions, which only focused on price and would like to commend the principal for an increasingly better dialogue, which among other things see the results of today, with new ferry on Kvanndal – Utne, M / F Hard No” into Ranavik – Happens Holmane and strengthening the reserve fleet in Sunnhordland.
