NB 158 – Helgøy

The NB 158 is a fully electric ferry vessel expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2026. The ferry to be delivered to the Norwegian shipping company, Torghatten, will have capacity for 30 cars and 149 passengers. It will be deployed in the Tromsø area, north of the Arctic Circle, where it will provide emission-free transport in vulnerable Arctic waters.

The NB 158 is the ninth newbuilding at Hvide Sande Shipyard delivered with either hybrid or fully electric solutions. The hull is expected to be delivered to Hvide Sande in the summer of 2025, where further construction can begin in earnest.
