Denmark-Sweden Service Closes

Despite all efforts to save ACE Link and its passenger vessels between Helsingborg - Helsingör, no more could be done. The company is now in bankruptcy and sailings will cease. The new yacht like vessels SIMARA ACE and SILUNA ACE on top of a rate of exchange between the Swedish and Danish krona was simply too much; the border traffic across Öresund could no longer prosper. Only commuters were left to the new Polish-built vessels, which more than anything had cruise style amenities - for passengers not requiring such service. ACE Link is owned by A C Eitzen. It previously operated as Sundsbusserne, then owned by another Norwegian shipping family, Moltzau. That leaves the market to the two car ferry operators, Scandlines and H-H Ferries.
