Since the beginning of 2020, Fjord Line has been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic and energy crisis. We have continuously adjusted our operations to face these challenges, most recently through a reduced sailing schedule and the ongoing dual-fuel conversion of our LNG ships, MS Stavangerfjord and MS Bergensfjord. 

Fjord Line heeft op grond van de energiecrisis besloten zijn twee LNG-schepen, MS Stavangerfjord en MS Bergensfjord, van een andere motor te voorzien. De singel-fuel LNG-motor wordt vervangen door een dual-fuel LNG/MGO-motor. 

Fjord Line gaat in het kader van de krappe Europese energiemarkt aan de slag om het energieverbruik te verlagen. MS Bergensfjord en MS Stavangerfjord, de twee op natuurgas (LNG) varende schepen op de trajecten Hirtshals-Stavanger-Bergen en Hirtshals-Langesund, krijgen daarom een nieuw vaarschema.

Fjord FSTR, Fjord Line’s new ultra-modern catamaran, will be christened on Friday at the cruise port in Kristiansand. The ship will be taking over the route between Hirtshals and Kristiansand from HSC Fjord Cat. It will be a traditional christening ceremony with a tour that can be followed digitally and that will made available to everyone.  

Fjord FSTR has double capacity, is environmentally friendly and is the fastest route between Kristiansand and Hirtshals

The restrictions from the government, in light of the covid-19 pandemic, has hit Fjord Line hard. Owners, loaners and governments have helped secure future operations for the second time during the covid-19 pandemic for the ferry company Fjord Line. This ensures that Fjord Line can continue to build on the strong position Fjord Line had before the covid-19 pandemic. 

The Board of Directors has appointed Brian Thorsted Hansen (53) as the new CEO of Fjord Line.

The corona pandemic has had a strong impact on Fjord Line. Now, further measures are being initiated to ensure that the company emerges from the crisis as a powerful and viable shipping company.

Fjord Line is preparing for the long-term effects of the coronavirus. Although liquidity has been secured, the company is now instituting major cost-cutting measures.
