The Ferry Services of Denmark - Storebælt, 1883 - 1997 PAGE 4 OF 6

The most well-done ferry was "Kong Frederik IX", which was built in 1954. The ferry have a nickname 'The King' because everything is so welldone.

In 1957 a new connection between Zealand and Funen was establised. The connection was only for automobiles and trucks. For use at the new line some two-decker ferries were built, where the first one, Halskov, was sailing already from 1956.

The first of these two-decker ferries had also rails, so the feries could be used as railway feries as well.
