Our latest PK-200 design:
PK-259.1: Herjólfur IV
Designed by: Polarkonsult AS
Technical Data
The ferry is in operation between Landeyjahöfn and Vestmannaeyjar (eng. Westman Islands), a town and archipelago situated off the south coast of Iceland.
The weather conditions outside Landeyjahöfn are difficult with a mixture of long ocean waves and shorter coastal waves in combination with strong transversal current at the entry of the harbor. The water depth is only 4,5 m and the ferry is operating in up to 3,5 m waves. These conditions require excellent maneuverability and shallow water seakeeping characteristic, which the vessel fulfills successfully.

Our latest PK-300 design:
PK-145: Elektron
Designed by: Polarkonsult AS
Technical Data
“Elektron” is specially designed for the transport of large and heavy objects such as transformers, but will also be available for other missions. “Elektron” can take a total deck load of 2,000 tonnes. Certain points are reinforced to withstand 90 tonnes in just 40 square centimeters. The ship can be trimmed with ballast water to ground into shallow water. With a fold-down ramp (loading limb), the ship can easily load and unload transformers and other large items. The driving ramp can withstand an axle pressure of 30 tonnes and a total weight of 500 tonnes.
Propulsion is diesel-electric and the ship is equipped with a dynamic positioning system.
