Fiskerstrand Holding’s 69-year-old chief executive says innovation is one of his Norwegian group’s enduring values.
Rolf Fiskerstrand’s Fiskerstrand Verft was founded by his grandfather in 1909 and is one of only two shipyards in Norway that have been in continuous business since that time.
Now it is playing a leading role in the next wave of industry innovation.
Fiskerstrand believes fuel cells combined with batteries will be the next big leap for shipping as the Norwegian Public Roads Administration (NPRA) continues its campaign to modernise and drastically reduce the carbon footprint of the country’s huge network of ferry crossings.
