The Vessel

The third SEASIGHT,
fully electric

The SEASIGHT 42 is the third SEASIGHT catamaran, built for a Norwegian fjord sightseeing operator — a 42.5-metre all-electric carbon fiber sightseeing vessel running the 36-kilometre Flåm–Gudvangen route through the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord.

Delivered in 2020, she follows two earlier sister vessels — a diesel-electric (2016) and the series' first all-electric ship (2018) — adding a gangway on both sides for greater operational flexibility.

Design Highlights

Electric, by design

Electrical machinery space of the SEASIGHT 42 — inverters, cabling and drive equipment in a carbon demi-hull

All-Electric Servogear Propulsion

Two 450 kW electric motors drive Servogear Ecoflow controllable-pitch propellers through HD 220 H gearboxes — a 16-knot service speed with engine noise kept to a minimum.

1,800 kWh Battery, 20-Minute Charge

A Westcon Power and Automation battery pack recharges in about twenty minutes at a 2.4 MWh floating glass-fibre quay in Gudvangen, purpose-developed for all-electric fjord operation.

Zero Emissions in a UNESCO Fjord

All-electric operation is expected to cut CO₂ along the Flåm–Gudvangen route by as much as 700 tonnes a year — ahead of Norway's 2026 zero-emission fjord mandate.

Flexible on Both Sides

Gangways port and starboard allow embarkation, disembarkation and charging on either side — and three conference rooms turn the vessel into an events venue underway.

In Service

Flåm ↔ Gudvangen,
emission-free every day

Since 2020, the SEASIGHT 42 has run the 36-kilometre route between Flåm and Gudvangen — about half of it inside the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord, beneath 1,800-metre mountains.
