20 March 2024 -HAV Group's energy design and smart control systems business has been contracted byTersan Shipyard to act as system integrator and supply a number of technologies to the four autonomous, zero-emission ferries that will operate the Lavik-Oppedal crossing on the northwest coast ofNorway . Under the contract, the company will act as system integrator and provide complete system deliveries for power system, automation and bridge design including navigation and communication solutions for the four ferries. As part of its system integrator role and under this specific contract,HAV Group's subsidiary will prepare the vessel for the delivery of autonomous vessel technologies. It is also delivering an extended automation scope in order to ready the vessel for future autonomous sailing and docking capabilities. "To be trusted with the system integrator role for what will become the world's most advanced passenger ferries, is a proud moment for us. The equipment deliveries that are part of this contract are highly familiar to us, having supplied multiple similar zero-emission maritime technologies and solutions in the past. We look forward to collaborating withTersan Shipyard andFjord1 on this project," says Siv Remøy-Vangen, managing director ofHAV Group's business area for energy design and smart control systems. The propulsion package, including switchboards, batteries, generators and on-board charging solutions, has been carefully designed to secure reliable and efficient vessel operations. All components work in harmony to optimise vessel performance and reduce the vessels' environmental footprint. The maritime systems integrator, which specialises in energy design and smart control systems, will utilise its three Norwegian facilities in Bergen, Egersund, and Ålesund to design, assemble, and test equipment. The company's office inIstanbul, Turkey , will supply part of the technical scope as well as commissioning support on board the vessels. "This contract is of major importance toHAV Group . We are very thankful for the opportunity to supportFjord1 in realising this groundbreaking project and to help shape the future of maritime passenger transport," saysGunnar Larsen , CEO ofHAV Group . In early March,HAV Group's ship design business, was contracted to deliver ship design and an engineering package for all four autonomous ferries. The ship design is based on a future-oriented operating concept that ferry operatorFjord1 has developed together withHAV Group's ship design business. The ferries will be able to operate with autonomous navigation and a high degree of automation of vessel functions that replace manual operations on board. Lavik-Oppedal is a ferry route that crosses the Sognefjord, on the northwest coast ofNorway , from Lavik in Høyanger municipality to Ytre Oppedal in Gulen municipality. The ferry crossing takes 20 minutes, and the route is 5.6 kilometres long. The four newbuild zero emission ferries will operate the route from1 September 2026 onwards.HAV Group's contract party for this latest award is Norwegian Electric Systems AS.
