Contract covers a full diesel-to-electric retrofit package as the vessel prepares for zero-emission operations in the iconic Geirangerfjord.
BOS Power has signed a new contract with Fjellstrand Shipyard to deliver a complete diesel-to-electric propulsion conversion for the tourist vessel Geirangerfjord II, operated by Geiranger Fjordservice.
Under the agreement, BOS Power will supply and integrate a full battery-electric propulsion system, replacing the vessel’s existing diesel machinery and enabling fully emission-free operations in the UNESCO-protected Geirangerfjord. This project reinforces BOS Power’s position as a leading system integrator for advanced maritime electrification solutions.
The conversion illustrates how existing vessels can be transformed through sustainable retrofit approaches, offering a cost‑efficient and environmentally responsible alternative to newbuilds. By reusing the hull and integrating state‑of‑the‑art zero‑emission technology, the project significantly reduces environmental impact and resource consumption.
Close cooperation between the Fjellstrand Shipyard, the operator, and BOS Power has been key to developing a solution that meets high standards for safety, performance, and long‑term reliability. BOS Power delivers a complete retrofit electric propulsion package, including a battery system, Megawatt Charging System (MCS) for rapid turnaround charging, and the company’s proprietary MOVEe Power and Energy Management System (PEMS). Together, these technologies ensure optimal energy utilization, efficient load balancing, and stable operational performance.
Once completed, Geirangerfjord II will operate with zero emissions and significantly reduced noise levels—enhancing the passenger experience in the UNESCO World Heritage–listed Geirangerfjord. The project demonstrates how electrification of existing vessels can play a major role in advancing circular economy principles and accelerating the maritime industry’s transition toward sustainable operations.
Delivery is scheduled for Q4 2026.
