As the sole operator of Roll-on/Roll-off ferries between Helsingør, Denmark, and Helsingborg, Sweden,  ForSea provides ferry connections via a single ferry route strategically located at the closest point between the two countries (c. 4 km). ForSea will, under new ownership and in collaboration with Molslinjen, continue its long-term growth and sustainability journey in the Nordic region.

ForSea can look back on yet another year of navigating a successful course between the restrictions and conformance requirements of two countries.

The ferry operator will update its ship Tycho Brahe to feature the world’s largest battery pack ever installed on a ferry.

On Saturday 27 June, Denmark will be easing its travel restrictions on all residents in Skåne, Blekinge and Halland Region in Sweden, and for all travellers who are transiting Denmark on their way to destinations within Scandinavia.

ForSea announced today that Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Johan Röstin will be stepping down from his position.

ForSea is the first shipping company in Sweden and Denmark to be MSC and ASC certified and the first shipping company in the world to serve only MSC and ASC labelled fish and seafood.

During Thursday's routine check and battery change, a deviation was detected in a few of the batteries. The cause is being investigated by the suppliers, ABB, and a change of batteries is underway. According to our safety routines, both Tycho Brahe and Aurora will run on traditional diesel operation until the cause is resolved. During Saturday's festivities, as we celebrate the 1-year anniversary of ForSea, the robot technology will be on display but without actual charging of the batteries.

ForSea has decided to convert Mercandia 4 from a passenger and freight vessel to a pure
freight service. As a consequence, we will no longer offer retail and F&B services on
Mercandia 4 as of 1 September 2019.

The Electric & Hybrid Marine Awards are now in their sixth year. The prizes rank among the world’s most prestigious honours in the marine industry and are awarded to recognise the achievements of manufacturers, suppliers, engineers, innovators and their products in the marine sector.

As part of the HH Ferries sustainability voyage, the Tycho Brahe and Aurora ferries now operate fully on battery power. This makes the route between Helsingborg and Helsingør the world’s first high-intensity battery-operated ferry line, with departures for both passengers and transport operations every 15 minutes, 24 hours a day, in all weather conditions. To show that the journey towards becoming the most sustainable transport company in the region is serious, the shipping company will also change its name to ForSea.
