In a remarkable turn of events, a baby was born on the 'Express 2' ferry on August 6, 2022. The joyous occasion unfolded in the evening just after the vessel departed from Sjællands Odde, making its way to Aarhus. The delivery was assisted by two doctors and a nursing student, ensuring a safe arrival for the newborn. Upon reaching Aarhus, both mother and child were transported to Aarhus University Hospital in Skejby, where they were confirmed to be in good health.

On the morning of August 17, 2019, an incident involving the ferry 'Express 2' led to the cancellation of its docking procedure at Ebeltoft port. The captain made the decision to abort the maneuver after a mooring rope snapped amid strong gusts of wind. With nearly 650 passengers and approximately 250 vehicles on board, the vessel was rerouted to Aarhus. Passengers with tickets for the Seelands Odde route were advised to adjust their travel plans and make their way to the Aarhus port instead.

The team at MAN Diesel is currently investigating the cause behind the recent engine failure that has sidelined the 'Express 2' since February 16. As of now, a timeline for the necessary repairs remains undetermined, leading to uncertainty regarding the vessel’s potential return to service at Aarhus Odden. Technicians from MAN are diligently evaluating the extent of the damage to the engine, which means that definitive information about the repair process and projected completion date is still pending.
