On Saturday afternoon, the Stena Line ferry Danica experienced a sudden power outage while navigating the Kattegat Sea near Frederikshavn. According to the company’s press officer, Maria Hellbjörn, the ferry was without power for less than an hour, with the engines back in operation around 3 PM the same day. The cause of the power failure has not yet been determined, but technical issues are believed to be responsible for the incident.
Passengers on board reported that the power went out shortly after departing from Frederikshavn, leading to the ferry drifting on open waters. Hellbjörn confirmed to Swedish media that efforts were underway to resolve the issue swiftly. The Stena Line ferry route connects Frederikshavn, a port city in northern Denmark, with Gothenburg (Göteborg), a major city in Sweden.
