Ferry had bottom touch off Assens
On FEb 21, 2025, at 7.30 a.m. the 'Bågøfærgen ' touched the bottom off the port of Assens, en route to Bågø, in very foggy conditions, which caused the ferry to get a little off course and scraped over a sandy shallow. It was banned from sailing until the Danish Maritime Authority has inspected the ship's bottom with a diver. The ship was expected to sail again at 3 p.m.

On Dec 15, 2019, at midday the 'Baagø Færgen' was hit by technical problems and was sidelined in Assens for repairs. The operator hoped to have the ship sailing again on Dec 16 at 5 p.m., but during a trial sailing in the afternoon of Dec 16, it became clear that the ship would need further repairs and an update could not be given before Dec 20. In the meantime a boat only for passengers would be sailing.
