Bornholmslinjen and Rønne Havn to Conduct New Ferry Simulations

By | 2025 Newsletter week 09 | No Comments

Bornholmslinjen and Rønne Havn will jointly carry out ferry simulations to test approach and departure conditions under previously untested weather scenarios.

The decision follows a meeting last Friday between Bornholmslinjen, Rønne Havn, and the Danish Ministry of Social Security and Emergency Preparedness (Safe Waters office) to address reports of incidents at the redeveloped port. All parties were satisfied with the discussions and the focus on operational safety.

“These incidents have been addressed, and we’re now ensuring safe navigation during construction. Previous simulations didn’t include current vessels or all weather conditions, so this initiative is essential,” said Molslinjen CEO Kristian Durhuus.

Rønne Havn’s COO, Thomas Bay Jensen, welcomed the cooperation, highlighting the constructive dialogue and authorities’ recognition of their coordination efforts.

Almost two million pax for Bornholmslinjen

By | 2024 Newsletter week 03 | No Comments

2023 was a record year for Bornholmslinjen, with the highest number of passengers and cars ever traveling to and from Bornholm. [Danish press release]

  • Passengers: a total of 1,993,966 pax were recorded, nearly 46,000 more than the previous record year in 2022.
  • Cars: 583,943, more than 10,000 more cars than in the previous record year in 2022.
  • Trucks: 45,345, slightly fewer than the previous year due to the impact of the global economy on freight volumes to Bornholm.

Jesper Skovgaard, Molslinjen’s Commercial Director, anticipates that they will soon reach the magical two million ferry passengers to Bornholm, especially when the high-speed ferry, EXPRESS 5, is fully utilized (in 2023 the ferry was only in service in the second half of the year)

2024 will be the year when ferry capacity to Bornholm can be fully utilized. The marshalling areas in Rønne will be expanded, as they have already been in Ystad.
