The German-Danish Scandlines Group further extends its RoPax-services to the Baltic States. As of April 27, 2010 Scandlines offers its customers an additional service from Travemünde (Germany) to Liepaja (Latvia).

Northern and Western European countries being closed due to the fallout of ash from the volcanic eruption in Iceland air transportation has been severely disrupted. Many passengers decide to choose an alternative way of travelling: by ferry.

Scandlines changed their price concept as per 12th April 2010. The aim is to match the offering better to the broad customer structure and allow additional price comparison at a glance. This ensures more transparency for the customers and every passenger may book his/her departure customized to his/her individual needs.

New vessels will double capacity from 2012. Total investment EUR 230 million.

With a leaner, more efficient and customer-focused organisation, Scandlines is well-positioned for growth. Stefan Sanne is intended to be appointed interim CEO due to Michael F. Hassing’s decision to assume a new position outside the company.

The German-Danish Scandlines Group further improves its new RoPax-service from
Ventspils (Latvia) to Travemünde (Germany) started as recently as January 19, 2010.

The German-Danish Scandlines Group further strengthens its freight-based route network to the Baltic States. As of January 20, 2010 the company offers a new combined freight / passenger service from Travemünde (Germany) to Ventspils (Latvia) with initially two weekly departures per direction.
