Oslo-based Color Group is getting out of the pure ro-ro business and otherwise trimming its fleet with the announced plan to sell its two oldest vessels.

The sale of the 1,775-lane metre ro-ro Color Carrier (built 1998) and the 19,763-gt ro-pax ferry Color Viking (built 1985) will leave the company with a five-ship fleet, one that will be more heavily weighted to passenger traffic, comprising three medium to large ropax ferries and two large cruise ferries.
