During one month MAX MOLS (InCat, 1998) is in drydock for maintenance. She will also have a new lift, to connect car deck and accommodation. She will be ready on November 5.
In May she will be withdrawn from service again, for a complete refurbishment of her accommodation.
On November 6, EXPRESS 1 (InCat, 2009) will enter drydock for works which will last until mid January 2018. It is unclear how, but she will get 400 more passenger seats.

“It is hard to compete with tax money,” says Molslinjen’s CEO Carsten Jensen. He refers to the agreement between the Danish Government and the Dansk Folkeparti, where it has been promised to lower the crossing prices over the Great Belt Bridge by 25 per cent. Carsten Jensen calls it a distortion of the market.
Molslinjen carries more than 1.3 million cars and nearly 2.8 million passengers a year on the routes Aarhus-Odden and Ebeltoft-Odden. On September 1, 2018, Molslinjen will take over the Bornholmroute.
