July 5, 2026. Energy company Gasum and Norwegian ferry operator Fjord1 have signed a long-term agreement on the supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) for a group of ferries operating the daily Arsvågen–Mortavika route connecting Stavanger and Haugesund along E39. The agreement covers fuel supply for four main ferries and one backup ferry.
“For Fjord1, reliable fuel supply is essential to maintaining safe and predictable ferry operations on one of Norway’s most important ferry routes. We are pleased to enter into this agreement with Gasum, which supports our focus on operational reliability, efficient logistics and our long-term ambition to provide safe and environmentally friendly transport for our customers, contracting authorities and partners,” says Tor Kristoffersen, Head of Regional Operations at Fjord1.
Fjord1 is Norway’s leading ferry company, transporting over 20 million passengers annually. The company is a supplier of critical infrastructure to coastal Norway.
The Arsvågen–Mortavika ferry connection is an important transport link on the Norwegian west coast. Gasum will bunker the ferries truck-to-ship at both ends of the route, requiring precise scheduling to keep ferry operations running smoothly.
