Strandferðslan Celebrates 100th Birthday

In May 2017 100 years have passed since the government bought the first ship named Smiril from the Mortensen family. This was the start of Strandferðslan - or Strandfaraskip Landsins as we know it today. Celebrations were held in Drelnes on 19th May attended by the transport minister.

Strandfaraskip Landsins (SSL) is the nationally owned transport company of the Faroes. The main objective for SSL is providing transport to all corners of the Faroe Islands. SSL runs six ferries named Smyril, Teistin, Sam, Ritan, Sildberin and Ternan. All the ships are named after birds, and only Smyril, Teistin, Sam and Ternan are car ferries. The other three are passenger ferries. SSL also runs various bus routes which are all privately operated by several different Faroese bus companies.

I welcome any help or information about the buses and ferries of the Faroe Islands. ☺✍ peterATcountrybusDOTcom
