On Aug 31, 2018, at 8.30 p.m. the 'Femøsund' ran aground off the port of Femø. The seven passengers and two crew members had to stay on board for several hours until a boat from the rescue station in Gedser arrived at 11 p.m. and take them ashore. The accident happened after the master suddenly could no longer control the propellers and was unable to stop. He chose to ground the ferry instead of running into the quayside at Femø. Lolland Ferry was trying to catch a tug in the night to get the ship pulled off and repaired. Before being allowed to sail again, she must approved by divers from the Danish Maritime Authority.
