DOUBLE-ENDED
CAR-PASSENGER FERRY Bastø III
In February 2005 Bastø III ferry left for
Norway. The ship had been built at Northern
Shipyard, part of the REMONTO-
WA Group, and delivered to Bastø Fosen
A/S, its Norwegian owner.
It has been the largest ferry built in the
shipyards of the REMONTOWA Group so
far, the largest of all ferries operating in the
Norwegian fiords region, and the largest of
the three ferries owned by Bastø Fosen A/
S. It carries 550 passengers and 212 cars
on the Horten – Moss route in the Oslofiord.
Its crew consists of 15 persons. The
length of the ship amounts to 116,2 m, its
breadth to 19,5 m, and depth to 9,95 m.
Gdañsk Shiprepair Yard Remontowa SA
entered into a contract with a Norwegian
owner, Bastø Fosen A/S, for building Basto
III, the SKS 212 double-ended ferry, on 10
July 2003. It meant winning the competition
against 20 shipyards, including the
Norwegian Fosen, Fiskerstrand and Brattvaag.
The draft design was created by the
Norwegian Kverndokk & Eldøy AS (KEAS).
The ship was classified by Det Norske Veritas
classification society.
On 16 July 2004, the ship was launched
sideways at Northern Shipyard without
the upper part of its superstructure.
Among other parts of the superstructure
to be added at a later stage, also a wheelhouse
was installed only after launching
the ship.
