Ferry grounded on sandbank
The service of the ' Nerthus' between Bøjden and Fynshav had to be cancelled on Jan 20, 2026, after the ferrry briefly ran aground on a sandbank off Bøjden and got stuck on it. The ship managed to pull off unassisted and sailed back to port. The ship had its first voyage on the route on Jan 16, and had to stay in port until a diving team from Svendborg has examined the bottom, and the Danish Maritime Authority has approved it for further sailing. Alslinjen cancelled the rest of the day's departures so that people do not drive to the ferry in vain. The 'Nerthus' was able to return on the route on Jan 21, so there was a replacement ferry needed.
Brand new ferry suffered generator problem
The 'Nerthus', operating between Kalundborg and Ballen upon Samsø, was sailing with a 20-minute delay in both directions for the rest of the week due to problems with two of thr generators, which meant that the ferry was sailing slower than normal and thus takes longer on the trip. Technicians arrived on July 11, 2025, to look at the generators, and from there it was expected to become clearer, whether the delays would continue and if so for how long. Customers who have booked tickets for the ferry will be notified of any changes. On Samsø, the delays meant that the summer bus does not necessarily wait for the 'Nerthus' at the ferry berth. Normally it will wait about five to ten minutes, but then it will have to run to match the arrival times of other ferries.
