Torghatten is rebranding the ferry companies within the group, and all three will now operate under the same name: Torghatten. As part of this, Bastø Fosen will also change its legal name to Torghatten Sør in January.

The CEO of Bastø Fosen, Øyvind Lund, emphasizes that this rebranding clarifies that they are a part of Norway's largest ferry company, and that they now can work more effectively on profiling and branding.

The Torghatten Group consists of the ferry companies Bastø Fosen, Torghatten Midt, and Torghatten Nord. Torghatten operates around 90 vessels and employs 1,200 people, managing 50 ferry and express boat routes in Norway. Each year, we transport 12 million passengers and 6 million cars. This year, we won our first major ferry contracts in Sweden and was named the most innovative passenger transport company in Norway.

Starting January 6th, information about Bastø Fosen, such as route details and traffic notifications, will be available at Torghatten.no.

Lund emphasizes that the company will implement the rebranding as environmentally friendly and efficiently as possible, without affecting the operations of the ferries. The ferries will therefore be rebranded during scheduled maintenance periods.
