Dear Samsinger and customers at Samsø Rederi, As many of you know, Princess Isabella is currently at the shipyard in Frederikshavn to undergo the extensive 10-year service inspection. The plan has always been for the ferry to be reinstated on the Sælvig-Hou route from Monday morning, February 3, with the first departure from Sælvig at 05.45.
Unfortunately, in recent days there has been a delay in the work to refit the four thrusters, which ensure the ferry’s propulsion and steering. The shipyard and its subcontractors are working around the clock to complete the work so that Princess Isabella can leave Frederikshavn on Sunday afternoon. This is a prerequisite for the ferry to be back at Samsø in time to resume sailing on Monday.
As it is still uncertain how long it will take to complete the work, we cannot yet confirm with certainty whether Princess Isabella will make it back in time. There is therefore a risk that Ane Læsø will continue to sail the route on Monday, and that Princess Isabella will only be reinstated on Tuesday 4 February. Samsø Rederi holds ongoing status meetings with the shipyard and will update information about the status and any changes to the sailing plan on our website and via SMS. The final decision will be made on Sunday first in the afternoon
Kind regards Samsø Shipping Company
We send out traffic information if we deviate from schedule for more than 15 minutes.
We put a virtue in letting our customers know what is going on. So you can be sure that if it says that we are on schedule, we are.
As soon as we know we are going to be delayed or something else, we will let you know as soon as possible.
Broadcasting traffic information is not just about updating the information on this page. We also send text messages via our text message service. Just as we have to deal with a delay or cancellation by closing departures in our system, possibly moving customers to new departures, calling hauliers who need to move their trucks to new departures and much more.
We are therefore always very busy when we experience delays or cancellations. Therefore, we encourage you to follow along on this page and not call or write to us, as we have nothing more to say than you can read here.
Thank you for your understanding.
