Oslofjord is a Danish registered passenger / vehicle ferry owned and operated by Norwegian ferry operator Fjord Line. The vessel operated between Stromstad in Sweden to Sandefjord in Norway

The Bergensfjord is the last of three similar vessels built by Fosen Mekaniske Verksteder in the early 1990s. The other two vessels are the Leif Ericson and the Patria Seaways.

Bergensfjord has been ordered to be renovated at STX Finland for about 30 Million Euros. It will operate between Sandefjord and Strömstad starting June 2014.^[3][4]
