Storegut is a railway ferry that operated between Tinnoset and Mæl on Lake Tinn, Norway. She was launched on 25 May 1956 and taken out of service after 4 July 1991 when the Tinnsjø railway ferry ceased operations.

As the fourth and last delivered railway ferry for Lake Tinn, Storegut was the largest and the only one not steam powered. She has a track length of 156 metres (512 ft) on two parallel standard gauge tracks spanning the length of the vessel; allowing 21 cars of chemicals weighing 800 tonnes to be carried. In addition she could carry 400 passengers above and below deck.[1] When she was launched she was the largest lake ferry in Northern-Europe at 1,119 tonnes.[2][3]

She has three diesel engines from Motoren Werke Mannheim, each at 590 kW (750 hp). Normal operation calls for use of two engines providing 13 knots (24 km/h) to 14 knots (26 km/h), but additional thrust can be provided through use of all three engines, giving 15 knots (28 km/h); The travel time on the 30 kilometres (19 mi) route was 80 minutes.
