Jørgen Dyrseth, captain

"I was hired as chief mate in the fall of 2001. For the first six months, I was a temp on various ferries in Rogaland. The first boat I got a permanent position on was MF Finnøy, which was then part of the Finnøy service.

In the winter of 2006, I tried my luck on a express boat when Stavangerske reopened the Ryfylker routes. I got a permanent position as master on MS Westcruise on the Hommersåk route in 2009.

The Ryfylker routes lured me back, so I worked as a driver on board MS Fjorddrott until 2021. Then I had the opportunity to start on the world’s first hydrogen-powered ferry MF Hydra and it has been an interesting time and a promising workplace. From the new year, you will find me as master on board MF Nesvik, also on the Jøsenfjord in Rogaland! Because I like it here.

Norled is a safe and good employer, here I am among good colleagues who focus on innovation and safety. All the good people make Norled a great place to work!

I’m proud to say that I work for the company!”

"I couldn't have a better workplace! Being at sea is like therapy for me.

"As chief engineer at Norled, I've had a steep learning curve and the opportunity to influence my own learning," says chief engineer Jogeir, who works on the world's first electric ferry.
