Hurtigruten ship MS Roald Amundsen
In 2019, Hurtigruten added a brand new ship to its fleet: the MS Roald Amundsen. This state of the art ship features new and environmentally sustainable hybrid technology that will reduce fuel consumption and show the world that hybrid propulsion on large ships is possible.
MS Roald Amundsen is the first of 2 hybrid ships Hurtigruten will add to its fleet over the next few years. Emissions are cut by sailing with electrical propulsion. Innovative sustainable technology reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions on the ships by 20 percent.
MS Roald Amundsen is named after the Norwegian explorer of the polar regions. He led the first expedition to traverse the Northwest Passage, the sea route between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans through the Arctic Ocean, from 1903 to 1906 and the first expedition across Antarctica to the South Pole in 1911.
