FERRY

摘要

Completion of the world's largest fast ferry, Express 5, for Bornholmslinjen will be six months late and not now take place until winter 2022 after building work involving Austal yards in the Philippines and Vietnam was affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The 13,589gt 115m vessel will operate between Sweden and Denmark.Eased Covid restrictions for Danish passengers travelling to Sweden saw Stena Line bring in a third vessel for the Frederikshavn-Gothenburg service from the beginning of July, with Stena Vinga (2005/14,551gt) introduced to support long-serving route regulars Stena Danica (1983/28,727gt) and Stena Jutlandica (1996/29,691gt). This is one of Stena's most important routes for passengers, and 2021 high season bookings have surged far ahead of 2020 figures.
