SuperSpeed 1

On 15 December 2005, the Norwegian shipping company Color Line ordered two ships from today’s MEYER TURKU – SuperSpeed 1 and SuperSpeed 2 – and yard numbers 1359 and 1360 were then delivered between March and June 2008. Both ferries have since been operating between the Danish town of Hirtshals and the Norwegian ports of Kristiansand and Larvik.

SuperSpeed 1 and SuperSpeed 2 are high-speed ferries – they plough through the Skagerrak at 27 knots, covering the route between Denmark and Norway in just 3 hours and 15 minutes.

In 2011, SuperSpeed 1 returned to the shipyard in Turku to be converted and expanded. The ferry now has more space for 400 passengers, and it houses the largest pizzeria in Europe – with almost 500 seats.
