13 November 2025 – HAV Group’s energy design and smart control systems business, Norwegian Electric Systems (NES), has been chosen to deliver two onshore stations to the Krakhella-Rysjedalsvika ferry crossing in the Sognefjord, enabling electric ferry operation on the West coast of Norway.
The two charging stations serve complementary roles. At Rysjedalsvika, the installation will handle rapid turnaround charging with more than 8 MW capacity from an integrated battery system and autonomous charging tower. At Krakhella, the company will deliver a container‑based shore station featuring MCS (Megawatt Charging System) high‑power charging and facilities for overnight layover.
The Krakhella charging station is scheduled for completion in the second half of 2026, while Rysjedalsvika will be delivered in 2028. The combined contract value is in excess of NOK 50 million.
“Our track record of delivering onshore charging stations for ferries is unmatched, and we are applying our well proven charging technologies to this project. These installations will enable fast and robust charging to support efficient hybrid‑ferry operations on one of the region’s key connections,” says Hans Petter Erlandsen, Senior Bid Manager at NES.
Last year, HAV Group’s subsidiary was also awarded a contract by Tersan Shipyard to act as system integrator and deliver power and automation systems for the newbuild ferry – NB 1137 – that will operate the Krakhella-Rysjedalsvika ferry crossing.
“We are pleased that Fjord1 has chosen us to provide a complete shore power system that is integrated towards a ferry where we already hold a system integrator role. This obviously reduces risk for all parties involved. It also underlines our position as a complete supplier of electrification solutions to the maritime industry,” says Siv Remøy-Vangen, managing director of NES.
HAV Group’s contract party is Norwegian Electric Systems AS (NES).
“As the adoption of alternative fuels has taken longer than the maritime industry initially expected, utilising electrification as a mean to optimise and decarbonise vessel operations has become a highly popular and reliable option. NES has proven its ability to capitalise on this trend, which we expect to continue,” says Gunnar Larsen, CEO of HAV Group ASA.
