Ferry Bastø Electric

Together with our Turkish partner, Marsis, we have supplied fire protection for the Norwegian ferry Bastø Electric – the world’s largest all-electric ferry. The ferry is owned by Norwegian Bastø Fosen and is operating the busy route between Moss and Horten in Oslofjord. Bastø Electric is 144 m long and capable of carrying 600 people and 200 vehicles. To comply with the environmentally friendly concept of the busy Norwegian ferry route, the VID FIREKILL low pressure watermist systems were chosen as the fire protection for the electric vessel.
