The Lagatun hybrid ferry – as partially outfitted unit – delivered from Montex

On March 15, 2018, tug Frigga with a partially equipped Lagatun double-ended ferry on tow arrived in Gursken, Norway. The ferry was built at Montex Shipyard in Gdańsk, commissioned by the Mvlebust Verft AS, branch of the Kleven group.

The towing team set off from Gdańsk, on March 10 this year, from the quay at which the Montex production plant operates, in the area of former Gdańsk Shipyard.
