Scandlines has successfully finalized the sale of two of its cargo vessels, the AURORA and MERCHANT, to the Swedish Orient Line. This strategic agreement will take effect on September 1st, marking a significant shift in shipping operations for the route between Rostock and Hanko. As part of this transition, the Swedish Orient Line will also assume the Travemünde - Liepaja route along with the ferry URD starting from October 1, 2012. This move enhances Swedish Orient Line's cargo capacity and strengthens its operational footprint in the shipping industry.

On the evening of July 21, 2012, a notable incident occurred involving two Scandlines ferries in the bustling port of Rostock. The vessels, 'Kronprins Frederik' and 'Aurora,' were involved in a minor collision at a low speed, but the reasons behind this unfortunate event remain unclear, as announced by the shipping company on Sunday. Fortunately, both ferries managed to navigate safely to their respective terminals without significant damage. Following thorough investigations and clearance from the appropriate authorities, 'Kronprins Frederik' set sail at 23:15, resuming its journey to the port of Gedser. Meanwhile, 'Aurora' departed from Rostock early the morning of July 23, 2012, also heading for Gedser.
