History
AI-generated

MS Trollfjord is a Norwegian-registered coastal express ship that serves as the flagship for Hurtigruten's Nordkapp and Svalbard express routes. Built at Fosen Mekaniske Verksteder in Rissa after being launched at a Swedish shipyard, the vessel experienced construction delays that forced cancellation of an initial cruise program before entering service with Troms Fylkes Dampskibsselskap. In 2007, the ship ran aground in Svartsundet near Svolvær with three tanks punctured, though none contained oil, and was successfully repaired at Bergen Mekaniske Verksted.
