Ferry taken out of service for coronovirus risk

Fri Oct 23 10:26:59 CEST 2026 Timsen

The 'Ampere', which runs between Lavik and Oppedal on the E39 route, was temporarily taken out of service on March 12, 2020, at the risk of coronary infection. Aman in the lap of one of the ferry employees had tested positive for coronary infection. He was put ashore and tested for contamination while the ferry was disinfected and washed down. The operator was in dialogue with the health care system about when other crews can be cleared for further work, and will follow the advice they provide.

World's first fully electric ferry for sale

Fri Oct 23 10:26:47 CEST 2026 Timsen

The 'Ampere' the world's first fully electric ferry, which entered service on Feb 16, 2016, has been put up for sale in Norway. According to the shipbroker J GRAN&CO AS, the company has been exclusively and officially appointed to offer theferry for sale. It currently operates between Lavik and Oppedal in the Sognefjord. When the contract for the Lavik-Oppedal ferry route was put out to tender, it included a special requirement: one of the ferries had to incorporate an innovative environmental feature. This marked the beginning of the development and deployment of electric ferries in Norwegian waters. The propulsion system for the "Ampere" was supplied by Siemens' Norwegian subsidiary in Trondheim. The Lavik–Oppedal ferry route, which is currently operated by the “Ampere”, will be served by four ships from the Fjord 1 shipping company between 2026 and 2034. The company was awarded the contract following a new tender for the route.

Ferry suffered propulsion trouble

Wed Jan 23 11:26:38 CET 2019 Timsen

In the afternoon of Jan 22, 2019, the "Ampere" suffered problems with one propeller and was unable to get berthed at the quay in Lavik upon its arrival from Oppedal around 3 p.m. The ferry "Oppedal" (IMO: 9419216), was called to assist the "Ampere" to the quay after half an hour during which she was adrift on the fjord. Another 30 minutes later she was finally docked. The "Ampere" was then taken out of service, and the ferry "Stavanger" was called as a replacement ship and was on its way from Sunnhordaland in order to start its service on Jan 23 at 10 a.m. At the quay in Lavik it was meanwhile found out that an electrical component had burned itself so the ferry lost propulsion at one end. The ferry has two identical engine systems at each side. The ferry arrived at Bergen on Feb 3.
