Scania

 

 

This page is devoted to postcards and photographs of the Rederi AB Svenska Öresund ferry Scania, which operated the Limhamn-Dragør service with the 1968 twins Hamlet and Ofelia,

 

Scania was built in 1972 by Aalborg Værft A/S, Aalborg, Denmark, for the Limhamn-Dragør service of Svenska Rederi Ab Öresund, Malmö. 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. Scania remained on the Limhamn-Dragør service throughout this time, being withdrawn late in 1999. She was sold the same year to Estonian owners Saaremaa joining fellow Limhamn-Dragør ferry Ofelia.
