History & geography

History

Frederikshavn was originally called Fladstrand (lit. "Flat beach") from its location in Flade parish. The movement was celebrated 5. August 1976 with the visit from Margrethe II of Denmark and her family. From 1988 to 1994 by later MS Stena Europe. From 1994 to 2020 it was served by MS Stena Saga. It was first closed temporary due to the coronavirus pandemic. The decision to close it permanently was announced a few days later on March 19. The Oslo route was reopened by DFDS Seaways on June 25, 2020 by the ferries traveling to and from Copenhagen which began stopping in Frederikshavn. There is a single departure and arrival per day. The route is serviced by MS Pearl Seaways and MS Crown Seaways.
