Denmark has welcomed a new addition to its fleet of high-speed ferries with the arrival of Express 5, an ultra-modern vessel built in Cebu, Philippines.
According to a statement released by the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) on Thursday, the ferry arrived in Rønne on April 16 after a 26-day journey.
The DFA said it is expected to expand travel to and from Bornholm while boosting tourism on the island.
It added that the vessel will ease travel for both residents and tourists to the popular Danish holiday destination.
“The arrival of Express 5, the second fast ferry delivery by Austal Philippines to Denmark, marks a significant milestone in Philippine-Denmark relations. It also validates the Philippines' growing expertise in building world-class vessels,” the DFA said.
Express 5 is currently undergoing final inspections by the Danish and Swedish authorities.
