Making the sea feel smaller since 1855
We exist to make the sea feel smaller and people feel closer, creating journeys and workplaces that are natural, effortless, and seamless.
The Norwegian FerryTale
The sea has always separated people and islands from the mainland, families from each other, cities from markets. In Norway, we learned to build bridges of steel and technology, not over the sea, but through it. For generations, Norwegian ferries have carried more than passengers, vehicles and cargo; they have carried lives, work, and stories. Decades of innovation have made our Norwegian FerryTale.
DSD's first steamship, 'Ryfylke', established in 1855 to serve the Ryfylke region. Born from this heritage, Ferry Systems develops technology that unites every part of the ferry journey, from port to port, covering operations, logistics, ticketing, and analytics. Our ecosystem connects vessels, ports, crews, passengers, vehicles and cargo in one continuous flow.
We design with simplicity so even the most complex operations feel intuitive. We create true seamlessness by letting every system communicate. And we build with precision, quality, and reliability, as the Norwegians always have at sea.
Now, we bring the expertise, innovation and craftsmanship of The Norwegian FerryTale to the world—shaping the future of ferry transport everywhere.
