Next round trip with Havila Capella canceled

Share

Unfortunately, Havila Kystruten will cancel the next round trip with Havila Capella. The reason is that there is still uncertainty associated with the ship's insurance.

Havila Capella is currently in Bergen, and the next planned round trip would depart on Wednesday 4 May.

"For the sake of predictability and possibility for our passengers to make changes to their trip to Bergen this decision has to be made now", says CEO Bent Martini.

It is too early to predict when a solution to the ship's insurance will be clarified.

"We are waiting for feedback from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding the solutions we are working on, and hope for an answer as soon as possible", Martini explains.

"This is of course very unfortunate for our understanding and patient passengers, as well as the coastal communities. It is also a pity for our employees who during the period have done everything they can to perform good work on board the ship. This is a situation beyond our control", he concludes.

About Havila Voyages

Havila Voyages is a Norwegian shipping company that sails the classic coastal voyage between Bergen and Kirkenes with the Norwegian coast's most environmentally friendly ships.

The four new ships are loaded with one the world's largest battery pack ever installed on passenger ships and can sail for up to four hours without noise or emissions through vulnerable areas. The batteries are charged with clean hydropower at shore, and when the batteries are low we switch to natural gas which cuts CO2 by around 35 %.

The hull is specially designed for maximum energy efficiency, and excess heat from cooling water and sea used for heating on board. On the menu are locally made dishes from local producers, and all unnecessary plastic is avoided. We are already exceeding the authorities' requirements for cutting emission, and we have set sail with zero emissions as the future target.

Havila Voyages is part of the Havila Group that dates back to the 1950s. It all started when the founder, Per Sævik, bought his first fishing boat in his teens. From fishing and herring fishing, Havila is now a group operating in shipping technology, offshore, transport and tourism.
