Ship history
The vessel was built by Haugesund Slip AS in Haugesund in 1970 for the Hardanger Sunnhordlandske Dampskipsselskap ("Hardanger-Sunnhordland Steamship Company"). Since then it has operated almost entirely between the villages of Kinsarvik, Utne and Kvanndal. In 2006 HSD merged with Gaia Trafikk forming a new company called Tide. The company ferry section changed its name to Norled in 2012.[2]
gollark: Biology gets tons of funding because there are companies actively working in it and short-term-er applications.
gollark: The applications turn up afterward.
gollark: Well, it's not like we know yet.
gollark: I'm libertarian-centrish, i.e. I think markets are reasonably good at allocating stuff but also have failures sometimes and so governments or something can sometimes be good there.
gollark: Idea: patent your maths and then make EVERYONE PAY YOU!!!!!!
