Freight to Denmark and Sweden
ForSea Ferries carry on transporting trucks and freight units around the clock 24/7. We will adapt according to capacity; the current sailing schedule is visible on our websites.
In order to protect the drivers and our staff in check-in, we encourage the drivers to use the self-service kiosks in our fast lanes. If the driver is carrying hazardous cargo or wants to use a plug in for their cooling unit, he will have to go to the manual counter at our check-in.
In our check-in area, we have hand sanitizer and information about necessary precautions to limit the Corona virus.

Choose the shortest route
Transport your load on the shortest and greenest route across the strait, with departures every 20 minutes in the daytime and a crossing time of just 20 minutes. The crossing is ideal for drivers to take a nice break, stretch their legs and use the facilities on board. Our staff will make sure you have a comfortable crossing.
The greenest route
You can now sail across Öresund in an environmentally sound manner on our two green ferries, Tycho Brahe and Aurora. You’ll save 40–50 kilometres compared with the southern route and reduce environmental impact. 452,000 trucks crossed Öresund with us during 2018. All in all, they save around 15,000 tonnes of C02 emissions each year. This is almost as much as the emissions from 5,000 flights to Thailand.

Carrying hazardous cargo?
When transporting hazardous cargo, the driver must always contact our staff at check-in. Pre-registering the cargo provides easy and faster handling when arriving at the port.
Contact us for pre-registration of hazardous cargo:
Helsingborg

Helsingør (Elsinore)
+45 88 71 19 12

Press the button "Form hazardous cargo" to open a form used for registration of hazardous cargo. After the form has been filled out, email it to either Helsingborg or Helsingör (Elsinore).
Plug-in for refrigerated trucks onboard our vessels
Due to health and safety, it is not permitted to operate compressor engines during our ferry crossing. Therefore, before driving on board, all cooling generator units have to be shut off. If you need to document an unbroken chain of cooling in a trailer, we therefore now offer plug-in options onboard our ferries.
In order to use this service, the truck driver simply has to inform our personnel at check-in that he/she needs to have power for their cooling unit while sailing. Our personnel onboard will direct the driver to a suited parking spot. It is the driver’s responsibility to plug in at departure and remove the plug again upon arrival at port.
We hope that you will welcome this new feature and naturally if there are any questions, please feel free to contact us.
