Today Strandfaraskip Landsins have signed a charter agreement with European Seaways concerning the lease of the Ropax ferry GALAXY. GALAXY will sail for Smyril when Smyril will be dry-docked approximately in mid-September 2019.
European Seaways owns a ferry that is a bit bigger than Galaxy and that might meet the requirements on the route to Suðuroy better. Therefore the charter agreement includes that SSL can exchange with this ferry if this ferry at that time lives up to all the necessary requirements.
Hilmar Eliasen, CEO, is thrilled that this matter has been solved and SSL will now intensively work on planning Smyril’s upcoming dry-docking.
