Ferry out of servicce due to vibrations

Technical problems have been detected on board the 'Lilleøre', which sails between Sælvig and Aarhus. There were a.o. vibrations in the fast ferry's catering area, and therewere fears that the problems may develop further, if not addressed. The ferry has therefore been taken out of service on Sep 15, 2025, and sidelined in Sælvig, so that it can proceed to a shipyard for investigations. The plan wwas for the ferry to be back in service on Sep 22. The operator Samsø Rederi will operate a commuter bus Monday to Friday, departing from Hou at 6:45 a.m. and from DOKK1 at 4:00 p.m. Other passengers have been referred to the Hou-Sælvig route.

Master fined for dangerous sailing

The master of the 'Lilleøre' was sentenced for dangerous navigation after sailing at a speed of 26 knots north of Tunø on Juily 27, 2021, in dense fog. The Samsø ferry did not issue fog signals or slow down. Martin Barnkob and his wife experienced a near collision with the ferry aboard their yacht 'Gulnare'. The East Jutland Police have closed the case and issued a not inconsiderable fine, but they refused to inform the couple about the amount of the sanction as they were not a legal party to the case, as the boat was not hit. The collision, however, was only avoided because the 'Gulnare' changed course at the last moment. The ferry does not stop to check if everything was alright on board the 'Gulnare', but slowed down and turned on the fog horn.
