Havila Voyages has said its fleet of ships is now complete with the arrival of Havila Pollux.

The ship, which has experienced “significant delays”, arrived in Norway from the Tersan shipyard in Turkey, and then docked in Bergen, alongside sister ship, Havila Polaris.

Havila Pollux will remain at Festningskaien in Bergen until 23 August, after which it will set sail along the Norwegian coast.

Havila Voyages CEO Bent Martini said: “Naturally, this is a new milestone for our company, and it’s very satisfying that we now have all our four vessels in Norway.

“It is wonderful to see our two latest vessels side by side here in Bergen, and crews from both ships along with many resources from our onshore organisation, are fully engaged in preparing them for operation along the coast.”

Havila Voyages to deliver a ‘fantastic product’

Martini added: “The Ministry of Transport, our contracting authority, has fortunately supported us throughout a complex process and demonstrated great understanding of the challenges we’ve faced, which unfortunately resulted in significant delays.

“We also have to thank everyone who has cheered us on and shown incredible patience and, most importantly, understanding that our challenges have been beyond our control.

“Now that we are complete, the real work begins – we are going to deliver a fantastic product along the coast, for the coastal communities and all our guests.”
