Cityboat Orders Zero-Emission Vessel to Boost Tourism in Norway
Cityboat, a joint venture between express boat operator Rødne and local tourism firm Viking Adventure, has placed an order for a zero-emission passenger vessel from Hyke. The 15-meter Hyke F-15 Shuttle is set to support tourism and local transport around Haugesund’s island network in western Norway. Scheduled for delivery in late 2026, the vessel will be constructed by Herde Kompositt in Hardanger, utilizing primarily Norwegian-sourced systems and components. The electric vessel is designed to offer a new class of tourism experience, free from noise, vibrations, and emissions. It features charging flexibility, allowing it to use standard electric vehicle fast chargers and conventional AC connections. The vessel's efficiency enables a full day of operations without recharging, making it a commercially viable solution for niche services.
