The Ebba-Brahe: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

On June 13, 2019, at 11:50 a.m., the 'Ebba Brahe' ferry, which operates between Gränna and Visingsö, was taken out of service owing to engine troubles that needed immediate attention. Passengers are advised that the ferry is anticipated to resume operations by 3:15 p.m. as repairs are made to restore full functionality.

Following an unfortunate incident over the weekend, the ferry 'Ebba Brahe' has been placed out of service for an indefinite duration. On the evening of August 13, a collaborative dive survey conducted by the shipping company and the Transport Agency revealed that the ferry's propeller sustained more damage than initially anticipated. In the interim, the 'Christina Brahe' is slated to begin operations on August 17, servicing routes between Gränna and Visingsö. Due to the severity of the repairs needed, 'Ebba Brahe' will require dry dock facilities. On August 18, the lifeboat 'Rescue Amalia Wallenberg' provided assistance to the 'Ebba Brahe' as it navigated away from Gränna, owing to its limited maneuverability. The vessel is now en route to the company's dry dock located in Huskvarna.
