Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Romoexpress

The highly anticipated RÖMÖEXPRESS, formerly known as TRESFJORD from Fjord1, made its debut at Havneby on the evening of November 4th. After completing essential preparations at a shipyard in Tallinn, this new vessel is set to enhance the ferry service connecting List on the island of Sylt with Havneby on Rømø. Originally scheduled to commence services earlier, the launch was postponed by eight days, generating excitement among local tourists and residents eager to enjoy quicker and more efficient travel between these scenic locations.

On November 4, 2019, at 9 p.m., the ferry ‘RömöExpress‘ arrived at the port of Havneby on the island of Rømø. Scheduled to commence operations between Havneby and List on Sylt on November 5, this ferry was expected to alleviate transport disruptions to Sylt caused by ongoing construction that affected train services for vehicle transport. However, the vessel experienced unexpected technical difficulties during its journey from Tallinn to Denmark, forcing a delay in the launch of its new service. As a result, the ‘Sylt Express‘ remained the sole ferry operating between the two ports until November 8, while the repair efforts for the RömöExpress took longer than initially anticipated. Upon completion of repairs, the ferry underwent inspection by Danish authorities and successfully departed the port at 1:40 p.m. on November 10. It subsequently arrived at List on Sylt, marking its inaugural berth at 2:20 p.m., and officially began regular sailings between the two islands.

On January 14, 2019, the ferry 'Tresfjord' encountered an alarming situation when it broke free from its moorings at the quay of Trondheim's new port amidst turbulent weather conditions. As the vessel at risk of going adrift, local fire brigade officials swiftly responded by deploying a boat to prevent a potential maritime incident. The team successfully maneuvered the ferry back to its berth, and fortunately, there were no immediate reports of damage to the vessel.
