In 2019 we welcomed Color Hybrid on the route between Sandefjord and Strömstad. The ship is the world’s largest plug-in hybrid ship. See information about the route Sandefjord–Strömstad here.

The shiphave full battery operation in and out of the fjord to Sandefjord inner harbour. This means that the ship has no emissions of damaging greenhouse gases into the air and noise is considerably reduced. 100 meters from the ship, the noise is as loud as a normal conversation between two people.
