Hamlet

 

 

This page is devoted to postcards and photographs of the Rederi AB Svenska Öresund ferry Hamlet, sistership of Ofelia. There is also a page on the third Limhamn-Dragør ferry Scania.

 

 

Hamlet was ordered, with sistership Ofelia, from Fr.Lürssen Werft, Bremen for a proposed Helsingborg-Helsingör service by HH-Linjen. She was sold to Svenska Rederi Ab Öresund, Malmö, before delivery in 1968. Hamlet entered service between Malmö-Copenhagen in 1969, transferring to Limhamn-Dragør after a few months. Ownership was transferred to Ab Sundfart in 1977, and again to SFL (Scandinavian Ferry Lines) in 1981. There was a further transfer to SweFerry Ab in 1991. Hamlet remained on the Limhamn-Dragør service throughout this time, being withdrawn late in 1996. She was sold the following year for further service in the Mediterranean.
