By | 2024 Newsletter week 39 | No Comments

FRS Baltic took the decision to cease the fast ferry route between the island of Rügen and Trelleborg. 

  • The reasons: fuel costs, CO2 taxes and fairway dues in the port of Sassnitz. 
  • The ferry service started in September 2020, with Ystad as Swedish Port. In April 2023 FRS switched to Trelleborg. 
  • In total, more than half a million passengers travelled with FRS Baltic. 
  • The last day of service of fast ferry SKÅNE JET is 30 September 2024.
