Mukran Port Shuttle Gets Off to a Successful Start to the 2026 season

By 2026 Newsletter week 29

The seasonal Mukran Port Shuttle has resumed operations for the 2026 summer season, providing a direct rail connection between Bergen auf Rügen station and the Sassnitz-Mukran ferry terminal. Operating from 13 May until 17 October, the RE27 regional express offers coordinated connections with ferry services to Bornholm, strengthening sustainable travel links between Germany and Scandinavia.

According to Mukran Port, the service attracted strong passenger numbers from its opening weekend, continuing the positive trend seen in recent years. The shuttle is designed to provide seamless rail-ferry travel and supports wider regional, national and European transport and climate policy objectives.

Henry Forster, Managing Director of Mukran Port, said the success of the shuttle demonstrates growing demand for connected and more sustainable transport options between Germany and Northern Europe.

The shuttle can only be used in combination with a valid ferry ticket on the Sassnitz-Mukran–Rønne route.
