On October 6, 2019, the 'Oslofjord' ferry experienced a significant engine malfunction, leading operator Fjordline to cancel all sailings between Strömstad, Sweden and Sandefjord, Norway. The issue emerged just as the ferry was set to depart, with passengers and vehicles already on board. Unfortunately, the engines failed to respond, necessitating the unloading of all cargo and passengers. In response to the situation, Fjordline promptly engaged technicians to address the technical difficulties. Notifications were sent out to all impacted travelers. After resolving the issue, the ferry successfully departed Strömstad again at noon on October 7, arriving in Sandefjord at 2:30 p.m.

On May 30, 2017, the ferry 'Oslofjord' was compelled to return to Sandefjord shortly after setting sail for Strömstad at 3:20 p.m. The vessel encountered unexpected technical difficulties en route, prompting an urgent response. Compounding the situation, a passenger experienced a medical emergency and required immediate medical assistance. The lifeboat 'Stormbull' was deployed to aid the individual in distress. By 8:30 p.m., the tug 'Boa Sund' guided the 'Oslofjord' back to the dock in Sandefjord, where all 180 passengers were safely disembarked. Fortunately, the engine issues were addressed overnight, enabling the 'Oslofjord' to resume operations as planned with an 8:30 a.m. departure the following day, May 31.

On July 8, 2014, the ferry 'Oslofjord' encountered a significant setback during its journey from Sandefjord to Strømstad when one of its two main engines failed. This unexpected technical issue led to the cancellation of the 1 p.m. sailing, impacting over 600 passengers who were scheduled to board. The 'Oslofjord,' managing to dock with its functioning engine, was subsequently redirected to Thorøya where technical personnel initiated investigations into the engine failure. Additionally, the operational troubles of the 'Oslofjord' caused delays for the 'Bohus' ferry service, which experienced over a half-hour late entry into the inner harbor of Strømstad due to the ripple effect of the incident.
