The ferry company gives the following information about the renovation:
The cruise ferry that will sail between Sandefjord and Strömstad was built in 1993 by Bergen Group Fosen. The ferry is currently being converted and renovated at the SXT shipyard in Raumo, Finland.
The ferry MS Oslofjord will start sailing in June 2014. By that time the ferry's appearance and design will have undergone a complete upgrade. When the conversion is finished, the ferry will look and feel like a brand new ship. It will accommodate about 1770 passengers and 370 vehicles.
MS Oslofjord is a modern ship. Its facilities and comfortable interior will guarantee travellers a pleasant journey between Sandefjord in Norway and Strömstad in Sweden. On board the ship you will find our large tax-free shop with a wide selection of goods. There is also a varied selection of restaurants, bars and cafés on board.
