Oro Vessel Reviews and Specifications

The ferry 'Orø', operating on the Holbæk-Orø route, has faced significant operational disruptions after a defective water pump was discovered in the aft main engine on February 26, 2025. As a result, multiple departures were canceled, including the last sailing of the evening on February 26 and all services on February 27 until 1:20 p.m. The vessel was docked in Holbæk while repairs were underway. Following the maintenance, the ferry was set to recommence its services at 1:20 p.m. on February 27, with the first voyage from Orø scheduled for 1:55 p.m. that same afternoon.

On September 8, 2015, at approximately 2:30 PM, the ferry 'Orø' encountered a mishap at Holbæk port as it was departing for sea. The incident arose when the vessel's master had to maneuver to avoid colliding with an angler's boat that had set out from the port just moments before the ferry. In an effort to prevent a collision, the captain opted to steer the ferry into a stone pier. Following the allision, 'Orø' promptly returned to port. Operations at the harbor were temporarily halted for four hours while divers inspected the ferry's hull for any potential damage. Fortunately, the divers reported only minor scratches, and by 6:30 PM, 'Orø' was cleared to resume its journeys from Holbæk to Orø. Meanwhile, passengers affected by the disruption were transported to and from Orø aboard the ferry 'Østre' with the assistance of coaches.
