In April, Stena Line announced it was closing its ferry service between Sassnitz and Trelleborg.

Forde Reederei Seetouristik (FRS) is take over the so-called Königslinie in September, after agreeing to purchase Fjord Line’s high speed craft ‘Fjord Cat’.

‘Fjord Cat’ will continue to operate for Norwegian Fjord Line until 23^rd August.

However, instead of sailing to Trelleborg, FRS will use Ystad in Sweden. The crossing time will be 2 hrs 30 mins, allowing for two return trips per day, the company said.
