Bornholmstrafikken - which operates ferries to the Danish island of Bornholm from Køge in Denmark, Ystad in Sweden and Sassnitz in Germany - has sold their ropax ferry Dueodde to New Zealand's Strait Shipping in accordance with the future plan for the traffic to Bornholm.
Dueodde will be delivered after docking shortly after 1 October and will be replaced by the Povl Anker on the Ystad-Rønne run until a new fast ferry is delivered from Tasmania. The Rønne–Køge service is performed by the sister vessel Hammerodde, which has been rebuilt by STX Europe Shipyard in Helsinki. The capacity has been extended with some 300 lane-metres plus extra accommodation for passengers.
Dueodde was built at De Merwerde Shipyard in Hardinxveld in Holland in 2005. The ship is powered by a double MaK-plant with a output of 8,640 kW to a service speed of 18 knots.
On Cook Strait runs the Dueodde will replace the Monte Stello.
