MS Lofoten (call sign LIXN) is a Norwegian passenger and cargo vessel owned and operated by Hurtigruten ASA. The ship was built in 1964. After MS Nordstjernen was retired from coastal service in 2012, MS Lofoten became the oldest ship in the current fleet still in operation. It operates cruises around the coast of Norway and sometimes in the Svalbard archipelago. The vessel was declared worthy of preservation in 2001 by the Norwegian Director General of Historic Monuments to preserve Norway's cultural heritage. She has been refitted several times—in 1980, 1985, 1995 and most recently in 2004.[2][4][5]

History

Many Norwegian coastal passenger and cargo ships were lost during the Second World War, which resulted in a need to rebuild the fleet. MS. Lofoten was the twelfth ship to be built during the reconstruction period after the war.

The ship was christened by Asbjørg Bergsmo on 7 September 1963 and was put into the Norwegian coastal route heading northbound from Bergen on 5 March 1964.

Ownership and port of call of the ship has changed several times in its years of service. From 1964-1988 the ship was owned by Vesteraalens Dampskibsselskab (VDS). Its port of call was Stokmarknes. In January 1988 Vesteraalens Dampskibsselskab (OVDS) and Ofotens Dampskibsselskab (ODS) was merged and it created Ofotens og Vesteraalens Dampskibsselskab and port of call was Narvik. On 30 September 1988 the ship was sold to Finnmark Fylkesrederi og Ruteselskap (FFR) for 20 million Norwegian Kroner (nok), and its port of call was changed to Hammerfest, Norway. In 1996 the ship was sold back to Ofotens and Vesteraalens Dampskibsselskab (OVDS) and the port of call was changed back to Narvik.

Between 1968 and 1982, MS Lofoten also travelled an express route to Svalbard. It made another trip to the archipelago in the summer of 2007.

On 30 May 2001, the ship was declared worthy of preservation, and on 2 February 2002, she was taken out of the coastal traffic, but was reinserted in December the same year as a replacement for MS Nordnorge which sailed on a cruise in Antarctica.{{Citation needed|date=February 2016}}

From 19 October to 5 November 1980, MS Lofoten was upgraded and modernized at Aalborg Værft in Denmark. The second dining room was replaced by four large cabins on the Saloon deck (cabins A2 400, 402, 404, and 406). At this time the ship transitioned from classes to no-classes. The main engine was also overhauled during the upgrade.

The ship was again upgraded in October 1985 at Aalborg Værft in Denmark.

2014 marked Lofoten’s 50th anniversary and was celebrated on-board throughout the year. The same year the port of call was changed to Tromsø. By its 50th birthday, the ship has travelled almost 3 million nautical miles, transported 1.25 million guests, and docked over 75,000 times in Hurtigruten ports.

It spent February 2015 in dry dock for maintenance and restoration. Starting in April 2015 the ship began a traditional service similar to the service style on-board during the 1960s which includes 60s-inspired menus and retro-style uniforms.

Construction

{{Unreferencedsect|date=July 2017}}

The ship is built in steel, except for the superstructure on the bridge deck, which is made of aluminium. It has a gross tonnage of 2621, two cold rooms, and total volume of cargo is 708 cubic meters.

The main engine is a 7-cylinder two-stroke Burmeister & Wain DM742 VT2 BF90 diesel engine. The original 1963 engine is still used and the performance is {{convert|2447|kW|hp}}, which gave a top speed of 17.5 knots during the test ride. Originally the ship had three generators; as of 2015 two of the generators are original. In 2003, a fourth generator that acts as an emergency generator was installed.

A point of distinction of MS Lofoten is its old-fashioned style and construction. For example, unlike the other active ships in the Hurtigruten fleet, which use direct entry loading/offloading, MS Lofoten must load and unload cargo through a hatch on deck with the assistance of an on-board crane. Another period-specific difference is shared bathrooms (as opposed to in-room bathrooms). Some cabins have since been upgraded and bathrooms have been added.

Deck C (lower deck): has 22 D-category cabins between 5 and 7m²: 12 outside cabins (6 on port and 6 on starboard), and 10 inside cabins with between 2 - 4 beds and a sink (a washroom/shower is found on the floor);
