Nice design... does this HSC carry cars as well?
I love the fact that they still have the FFR flag painted on the side!

Thank you for the pictures and specifications. I always like to know the details.
"Fjorddronningen II" on her way in to Tromsø thursday morning. This HSC was used before on Tromsø - Harstad - Tromsø route,before she was replaced by the new one in 2005.She is laid up most of the time in Tromsø as a reserve vessel.
Is HRG still running the HSC routes in and around Tromsø?

"Fjordprinsessen" on her way to Skjervøy this afternoon.The weather changed from sun to snow at the same time.There is definetly not spring in the north yet.
BTW,there is some rumors that HRG is ready to sell this HSC.Some people from a Greek shipping company was onboard her before Easter to have a look.
We have to wait to see what's happening further.
I was just looking through my Norway collection this afternoon and found a photo of Fjordprinsessen taken February 2008 in Tromsø
Fjordprinsessen must surely be one of the greatest looking HSC's around!
