Bornholm 2025: Yet Another Ferry Record

By | 2026 Newsletter week 01 | No Comments

Molslinjen A/S has set new traffic records on its Bornholm services in 2025, despite a reduced sailing programme.

Key figures (calendar year 2025):

  • 2,036,417 passengers, an all-time high
  • Up from 2,005,564 in 2024 (+1.5%)
  • 597,380 cars, also a record
  • +3.2% year-on-year
  • 49,672 freight vehicles
  • +4.6% compared with 2024

Traffic growth was achieved even though the main route between Rønne and Ystad operated 70 fewer sailings than in 2024.

According to CEO Kristian Durhuus, double-digit growth is no longer realistic, but steady annual increases underline the continued attractiveness of Bornholm as both a place to live and a tourism destination.

Nostalgic Return Of POVL ANKER Will Charm Bornholmers

Molslinjen A/S has a plan for the renovation of the reserve ferry POVL ANKER. By next year the ferry should be repainted in a new scheme, and the passenger areas will be refurbished.
The idea is to bring back the grandeur of POVL ANKER by painting her in the original colours of 1978, when she was delivered. The funnel will wear the Molslinjen logo though, not the DSB black and red colors.
Today, the veteran works as a reserve ferry for the fast ferries on the Bornholm route between Rønne and Ystad. In summer she also carries passengers between Rønne and Sassnitz
