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.
