Ahoy Captains,
We’re incredibly proud to share a major milestone in the development of Ships At Sea.
We are honoured to welcome Torghatten, one of Norway’s oldest and largest ferry operators, as the official owner of our first in-game ferry. With decades of maritime history behind them, Torghatten represents the very heart of Norwegian ferry transport — and now they’re part of Ships At Sea.
Equally exciting, the ferry itself has been designed by Multi Maritime, a renowned Norwegian ship design firm known for its innovation and passion for vessel development. With a long list of successful ship designs to their name — including many built for Torghatten — Multi Maritime brings a high level of authenticity and detail to the game that we’re thrilled to deliver to our players.
🛳️ What’s Next: Ferry Operations
We’ve been hard at work behind the scenes on multiple fronts, including preparations for the upcoming public test of the v0.8.3 update, which brings improvements, NPC crew tasks, and new features.
But we’re also thinking ahead — and one of the biggest features on the horizon is a brand-new class 4 of ships: Ferries.
This isn’t just about adding a new vessel — it’s about adding a new gameplay experience. Players can look forward to ferry operations, including:
Transporting passengers
Loading and unloading vehicles
Hydraulic systems in action — like opening and closing the bow visor or stern ramp, all fully simulated
If you’ve ever been on a real ferry, you know the feeling — the deep rumble of hydraulics, the clank of heavy metal, the moment the ramp drops. That’s the kind of immersion we’re aiming to bring to Ships At Sea. These aren’t just ships — they’re living, working vessels, and every mechanical detail matters.
⚓ We Build with Purpose
Our vision has always been about more than just adding ships. We aim to bring every vessel to life, with purpose, function, and character. Whether you’re navigating cargo routes or running scheduled ferry operations, we want you to feel like you’re part of something real.
Update v0.8.3 is on the horizon, and development on future updates is already underway.
Stay tuned — there’s much more coming, and we can’t wait to show you what’s next.
Smooth sailing,
Team Misc Games
