2009 Collision
On July 23, 2009 Gotlandia II and another Destination Gotland ferry, MS Gotland, collided outside Nynäshamn. Gotlandia II received heavy damage to its superstructure and 5 people were rushed to a hospital. It was later announced that the ferry would be out of service for the rest of the season. Two days after the collision Gotlandia II sailed to Norrköping, where it was laid up until a shipyard that can take the ship in for repairs was found. By January 2011 the ship was back in service.
