Fosen Design & Solutions
Our Projects
The company has for decades designed several types of vessels. Following are the main and latest FDS projects.
MS Color Hybrid
The Color Line Hybrid is designed to be highly energy efficient and with quick charging shore connection (HVSC) in combination with battery hybrid propulsion system has little to zero impact on the environment.
MS Stavangerfjord/Bergensfjord
The Fjord Line project is one of the most challenging RoPax/Cruise Ferries ever designed, due to it’s combined operation as a night ferry and a day ferry.
Conversion of MS Fram
MS Fram has gotten a new sewage treatment system, new additional heeling tanks and several upgrades in the public areas. A challenging part of this conversion was the installation of a new gasoline storage, which is unusual for passenger vessels and demanded a great deal of discussion and approval from several authorities.
Conversion of MS Spitsbergen
MS Spitsbergen has had several conversions at Fosen Yard. In 2015 the ship’s Iceclass was added and a Ducktail was added to enhance performance and fuel consumption. In 2020 the ship is again converted in parts of the aftship to further decrease fuel consumption.
Conversion of MS Vesterålen
MS Vesterålen is an old Lady of 37 years, build in 1983 most input data was hand drawn, revised over the years by different yards. Often the onboard situation is different than what the drawings show, in those cases onboard verification is necessary.
Conversion of MS Finnmarken
MS Finnmarken was docked for 66 days at Fosen Yard – little time to achieve a long list of areas to be converted, but possible! The ship was converted in several areas and for different purposes.
