history

The ship was built in 1984 under construction number 172 on Svendborg Værft in Svendborg for the Sydfyenske Dampskibsselskab in Spodsbjerg . The keel was laid on February 27, the launch on June 21, 1984. Completion took place in September 1984. The ship was the third ferry in the shipping company's fleet renewal program. Before that, the Thor Sydfyen built in 1978 and the Odin Sydfyen built in 1982 , a sister ship of the Frigg Sydfyen , had been put into service.

The ferry was operated by the Sydfyenske Dampskibsselskab between Lohals on the island of Langeland and Korsør on the island of Zealand and between Spodsbjerg on the island of Langeland and Tårs on the island of Lolland . With the spin-off of SFDS af 1991 from Sydfyenske Dampskibsselskab in 1991, the ferry came to SFDS af 1991. In 1996, SFDS af 1991 was taken over by DSB Rederi and the ferry was subsequently operated by DSB Rederi. When the ferry business was outsourced to Scandlines Danmark by the Danish State Railways (DSB), the ferry became part of the Scandlines Danmark fleet in 1997.

At the end of 2007 the ferry was sold to the shipping company Sydfynske, who let Langelandstrafikken continue to operate the ferry between Spodsbjerg and Tårs. On October 1, 2010, the ship came to Danske Færger , which was the result of the merger of Nordic Ferry Services, Bornholmstrafikken and Sydfynske.

In April 2012 the ferry was replaced by the Lolland . Since June 2012 it has been operating on the Alslinjen-operated route between Bøjden on the island of Als and Fynshav on the island of Funen , and since mid-March 2015 together with Fynshav .
