First sailing had to be cancelled
Samsølinjen's new electric ferry 'Tyrfing' has left the shipyard in Svendborg on the afternoon of Jan 14 and passed under the Great Belt Bridge on Jan 14 on its way to Ballen and arrived in Kalundborg at 8.30 p.m., expecting the inspection for finaly approval by the Danish Maritime Authority on Jan 15 with a view to the first sailing from Ballen on Jan 16 at 7:00 a.m. and arrival in Kalundborg at 8.20 a.m. The very first departure had, however, to be cancelled. The Danish Maritime Authority found errors that needed to be corrected first. The ferry did not depart until 1:30 PM. The ferry was originally supposed to be deployed one year ago, but this did not happen due to major delays at the Cemre Shipyard. Now Alslinjen can finally insert the twin ferry 'Nerthus', which has been serving the Samsø route since June 16. During the charter of the 'Nerthus', the Alsen route has been served by the 'Frigg Sydfyen', which can only carry 50 cars - 138 fewer than the 'Nerthus' can carry.

Tyrfing delayed again
Molslinjen, external suppliers and the shipyard in Svendborg have made a new plan over the weekend of Jan 3/4, 2026, which will put the 'Tyrfing' into operation on Jan 16. The plan was now the 'Tyrfing' to have its final inspection on Jan 15 and start operating the next day. Until then, the almost identical electric ferry 'Nerthus' will sail on the Samsø route, while the ferry 'Frigg Sydfyen' will handle the traffic on the Als route, which was waiting to get the 'Nerthus' operating between Bøjden and Fynshav on Jan 16, if everything goes according to plan.
Start of ferry operation delayed again
The start of operations of the 'Tyrfing' was further delayed. After the tough and weather-beaten voyage to Svendborg, the work at the shipyard was proving to be more extensive than planned. The technical preparations have not yet been finished. The almost identical electric ferry 'Nerthus' is already sailing on the Samsø route, and therefore Christmas traffic was not expected to be affected by the delay. The 'Nerthus' was supposed to have been moved to the Alslinjen, but that plan has now been postponed. The new plan was that the 'Tyrfing' will be put into operation on Jan 5, 2026. Once it is in place, the 'Nerthus' will be moved to the Als line.
