Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Agersoe-3

On December 7, 2018, the passenger ferry 'Agersø' encountered a grounding incident between Stigsnæs and Kulkajen at Stignæsverket. This unfortunate event was attributed to the ship's master falling asleep at the helm. Prior tension among the ferry operations crew is believed to have contributed to the incident, following the grounding of another ferry, 'Omø' (IMO-No.: 9310862), on November 23 between Omø and Stigsnæs. Reports indicate that ongoing disputes regarding the management of these ferry routes have created significant stress for the personnel, leading to three sickness notifications from a team of under 20 employees. The captain of the 'Agersø' reportedly struggled with sleep due to the uncertainty surrounding the future operation of the ferries. In an effort to address these challenges, Slagelse Municipality is advocating for the consolidation of the two ferry routes into a single operational unit. This would enable staff to provide cover for one another in instances of illness, aiming to prevent either ferry from being sidelined, even when there are available crew members on the other vessel, as occurred just seven weeks prior.

On August 22, 2018, the ferry 'Agersø III' encountered serious engine problems, leading to her being docked for repairs at Stigsnæs port at approximately 12:30 p.m. This unexpected issue has resulted in a reduced schedule for ferry services between Agersø and Omø. The vessel is anticipated to undergo repairs that should last around one week, affecting local commuters and travelers relying on this crucial link.

On the evening of March 31, 2014, the ferry 'Agersø III' encountered a challenging situation as it allided with the quay at Stigsnæs due to heavy fog conditions. The incident forced the vessel out of service, resulting in bow damage that required immediate attention. In response to the emergency, the ferry 'Omø' was deployed to maintain service on the critical route to and from Agersø. This marks the second incident within a short span, as 'Agersø III' had previously entered a shipyard only three months prior due to a separate allision. The ferry is currently docked for inspections and repairs.
