Havila Kystruten cancels additional voyage

Havila Kystruten has announced that it has cancelled its voyage departing from Bergen on Friday 17th of June.

The company is currently waiting for clarification from the Norwegian authorities regarding insurance for Havila Capella and confirmation of when she can resume operations. Work is also continuing to find a more permanent solution, such as a change of ship ownership.

- We are entering high season and many of the passengers booked on Havila Capella will also have travel plans elsewhere in Norway. We are therefore announcing our plans today, in order to provide those guests as much notice as possible says CEO Bent Martini.

Havila Kystruten is unable to operate the ship without valid insurance, even though the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has granted a dispensation allowing her to sail for 6 months.

- It is frustrating that we have not been given clarification regarding insurance of the ship. The situation is beyond our control, and unfortunately, we have to wait until a decision is made says Martini.

Passengers who have booked the 17th of June departure can amend to an alternative departure on Havila Castor or receive a full refund.
