Commuter agreements and tickets
4.12   Commuters can purchase Commuter tickets by setting up a Commuter Scheme, using the form at bornholmslinjen.dk/pendler, which also shows annual fees and sliding scale pricing.

4.13   Commuters are offered two types of Commuter Scheme, either for private persons or for businesses.

4.14   If you have a Commuter Scheme, you may enter into one or more Commuter Agreements, depending on the transport type you are using, e.g. 'Low car' or 'Foot passenger, child'. A Commuter Agreement allows you to purchase Commuter tickets on special terms.

4.15   Commuter Agreements can be used on both the Rønne-Ystad and the Rønne-Køge crossings and are only valid for the specific mode of transport for which they are purchased.

4.16   Commuter tickets may be changed right up to the date of expiry of the current Commuter Agreement. Commuter tickets may be changed free of charge.

4.17   If you buy a Commuter Ticket for travel after expiry of the term of the current Commuter Agreement, the Commuter Agreement may be extended when you buy the ticket so that it is automatically valid for one more year. The price for this will be charged together with the Commuter ticket in question.

4.18   A Commuter Agreement comes into force on the travel date of the first Commuter ticket bought through the Commuter Agreement, and it is then valid for 12 months. The Commuter Agreement may be changed to enter into force earlier by contacting BORNHOLMSLINJEN A/S's customer service at kundeservice@bornholmslinjen.dk

4.19   Commuter Agreement fees and Commuter tickets are non-refundable.

4.20   In connection with a journey using a Commuter ticket, the owner of the related Commuter Scheme must be able to show his or her picture ID (driving licence, passport etc.) as documentation for the connection. Users of the private Commuter Scheme must be able to prove residence at the address registered for the Commuter Scheme.

4.21   The registration number of the vehicle must be kept up-to-date on all reservations. If, in an exceptional case, the vehicle registered on the Commuter Agreement is unavailable, e.g. in the garage for service, another vehicle of the same transport type, e.g. 'Low car', may be used. In this case, the owner must correct the registration number on the Commuter ticket in question prior to checking in. This is done online. Changing the number plate on a Commuter ticket does not change the price of the ticket. Documentation may be required.

4.22   If the traveller using a Commuter ticket cannot document a legitimate connection to the Commuter Scheme, a penalty of DKK 750 will be charged. In this case, BORNHOLMSLINJEN A/S reserves the right to cancel the Commuter Scheme in question and all related Commuter Agreements, as well as all Commuter tickets, without further notice.

4.23   A private Commuter Scheme and its associated Commuter Agreements are valid for everyone in a household, and two cohabiting adults can, for example, share the same Commuter Agreement for the 'Adult, commuter' ticket type.

4.23.1   Commuter tickets are specific to the household and are non-transferable. Thus, Commuter tickets may only be used by the owners of the vehicles registered on the agreement and by members of their household.

4.23.2   If the household owns more than one vehicle, all vehicles may be registered with the same Commuter Scheme. The price of the related Commuter tickets is determined by the total number of reservations for the registered vehicles. The sliding scale price applies to journeys with the same mode of transport. This means that, according to the price calculation, Low car 1 and Low car 2 belong to the same agreement. However, Low car 1 and Tall car 1 each have their own agreement. There is only one annual fee for each transport type. Thus, Low car 1 and Low car 2 do not both pay an annual fee if they are registered with the same Commuter Scheme.

4.23.3   If several people attached to the same Commuter Scheme wish to travel on the same departure as foot passengers, or each in their own vehicle, it is necessary to set up more than one Commuter Scheme.

4.24   A Business Commuter Scheme may be set up by businesses and linked to the company registration (CVR) number of the business.

4.24.1   It is possible to set up more than one Commuter Agreement for the same Business Commuter Scheme.

4.24.2   If the business has different types of vehicle, a Commuter Agreement must be set up for each vehicle type, for example, one agreement for a 'Low car' and another for a 'Tall car'.

4.24.3   In the case of the Business Commuter Scheme, the traveller must be able to show an ID that documents that the person is employed by the company.

4.23.4   It is possible to register several vehicles for the same Business Commuter Agreement. The price of the related Commuter tickets is determined by the total number of reservations for the registered cars. Annual fees and sliding scale pricing are shown at bornholmslinjen.dk/pendler/priser

4.25   Buses

4.25.1   Standard tickets for buses are valid for up to three months from the original travel date and may be changed and cancelled until 47 days before the departure time. Reservations may not be changed or cancelled 46 days or less before the departure time. No-shows are non-refundable.

4.27   Fixed reservations

4.27.1   Fixed reservations for bus companies: Bus companies may enter into an agreement to have a number of fixed reservations available on future departures on the Rønne-Køge and Rønne-Ystad routes for an individually agreed period.

For foot passengers, all other baggage will be placed on baggage trolleys which will be taken on board the ferry. On arrival, the baggage trolleys will be taken to the arrivals hall, from where the Passenger will pick up his or her own baggage. In respect of baggage carried on baggage trolleys, the shipping company is not liable for the time before the baggage is brought on board and after it has been unloaded; however, it is liable for the baggage during the time when it is in the shipping company's custody on the baggage trolleys. The shipping company recommends that all baggage handed over to the shipping company for carriage be clearly marked with the owner's name, address and telephone number. Any complaints regarding baggage that has been in the shipping company's custody on baggage trolleys must be directed without undue delay to the shipping company's staff in the terminal before you leave the terminal.

5.4   For persons with disabilities or other need for special assistance, the shipping company provides parking close to the lift, where possible. Passengers with disabilities or reduced mobility have the possibility to pre-order and receive free assistance from the ferry and/or terminal staff to get on board and get off. This must be booked no later than 48 hours before departure by contacting BORNHOLMSLINJEN A/S on tel. +45 70 900 100.

5.11   BORNHOLMSLINJEN A/S is solely obliged to compensate for loss or damage caused by delay in the carriage of Passengers or the carriage or delivery of Baggage due to the fault or neglect of BORNHOLMSLINJEN A/S.

5.12   BORNHOLMSLINJEN A/S is entitled to leave the carriage, or part of it, to another shipping company. If a particular part of the journey is carried out by another shipping company, BORNHOLMSLINJEN A/S will not be liable for loss, damage or delay occurring during the part of the journey carried out by the other shipping company. The same applies if the Passenger has the right to be wholly or partially transported by another shipping company.

5.13   Complaints about the conditions on board must be directed to the staff of the department in question. Complaints regarding the carriage must be directed to the shipping company via the website.

6.1   For the carriage of Goods or Transport containers, a Low-Price ticket is issued. This is covered by the provisions on Low-Price tickets in section 5. The issue of a ticket does not mean that BORNHOLMSLINJEN A/S has received Goods or a Transport container into its custody, see section 275 of the Danish Merchant Shipping Act, as Goods and Transport containers are left on BORNHOLMSLINJEN A/S's premises at the expense and risk of the orderer, the sender or the recipient until the Goods or the Transport container are/is loaded on board the ship.

6.2   Entry and exit to and from the deployment areas at the ferry berths must be through the shipping company's portals for check-in and possible photography.

6.5   BORNHOLMSLINJEN A/S is entitled to carry the Goods or Transport containers either below or above deck without further notice, and BORNHOLMSLINJEN A/S has the right to carry Goods in a Transport container. BORNHOLMSLINJEN A/S is not liable for loss, damage or delay to Goods or Transport containers, when the loss, damage or delay is due to deficient lashing, securing and stowage of the Goods or other operations for which the orderer, sender or recipient is responsible, and BORNHOLMSLINJEN A/S is not required to check that the Goods are properly secured, lashed or stowed. BORNHOLMSLINJEN A/S is solely obliged to examine the Goods if the Transport container is visibly damaged on the outside.

6.6   The orderer, sender or recipient is responsible for the lashing, securing and stowing of Goods in Transport containers. In case of bad weather, BORNHOLMSLINJEN A/S will lash Transport containers, and Transport containers must be fitted with lashing mounting for fastening to the ship.

6.7   BORNHOLMSLINJEN A/S can leave the Goods or Transport container without liability, if the item cannot be carried on board due to technical defects, such as support legs that cannot be lifted or brakes that do not work. BORNHOLMSLINJEN A/S will subsequently inform the orderer, sender or recipient.

6.8   Valuable goods are transported only by prior agreement with BORNHOLMSLINJEN A/S, and if BORNHOLMSLINJEN A/S has not been informed of this, BORNHOLMSLINJEN A/S will not be liable for loss, damage or delay.

6.9   Dangerous goods are not allowed on board the high-speed ferries. However, limited quantities of dangerous goods are allowed if the goods are packed according to the official regulations for 'Limited Quantities' (LQ). LQ goods include classes 3, 4, 5, 6.1, 8 and 9 in packing groups II and III, and certain gases in class 2, including aerosols.

6.10   If Dangerous goods are to be carried, the nature and quantity of the Dangerous goods must be indicated in connection with ticket reservations no later than 12 hours before the time of departure. If such information is not provided, the sender is considered to have guaranteed towards MOLSLINJEN A/S that the goods handed over for transport do not include Dangerous goods.

6.11   When carrying Dangerous goods, the required documents must be present before the carriage. Labelling and packaging must be in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. BORNHOLMSLINJEN A/S reserves the right to check that the load corresponds to the information provided and is entitled to refuse or postpone the transfer of Dangerous goods.

6.12   BORNHOLMSLINJEN A/S reserves the right to carry Dangerous goods on a departure other than the departure originally booked.

6.13   When transferring Goods, the correct weight of the Goods must be stated when booking the ticket. BORNHOLMSLINJEN A/S reserves the right to carry out a check-weighing and charge an additional fee for any undeclared weight, and a control fee of DKK 2,000 if the weight declared is not correct. BORNHOLMSLINJEN A/S also reserves the right to cancel a booking if the weight of the Goods exceeds the specified limits.

6.14   Parking of trailers

6.14.1   Parking of trailers in Køge: On weekdays, trailers may be parked in the trailer carpark for carriage on the next departure. Parking of trailers for which carriage on the next departure has not been booked is not allowed. Trailers parked in the trailer carpark, for which no reservation for the next departure has been made, will be moved to a separate area in the carpark to make space for trailers with a reservation. BORNHOLMSLINJEN A/S will charge the customer DKK 1,500 to cover the costs of moving the trailer. BORNHOLMSLINJEN A/S's responsibility and liability in damages for both trailer and load will lapse when the trailer has been moved to and parked in a separate area in the trailer carpark.

For weekend departures, trailers may be parked in the trailer carpark from Friday. For departures on public holidays, trailers may be parked in the trailer carpark from the last weekday before the relevant public holiday.

6.14.2   Collection of trailers in Køge: Trailers arriving on the ferry from Rønne must be collected in the trailer carpark before 7:30 p.m. the next day. Trailers that have not been collected before this time will be moved to a separate area in the carpark to make space for other trailers. BORNHOLMSLINJEN A/S will charge the customer DKK 1,500 to cover the costs of moving the trailer. The customer is free to arrange for collection of its trailers before 7:30 p.m. the next day.
