Euroway
Euroway was a Swedish ferry company that operated cruise ferries between Sweden and Germany from 1992 till 1994. History Founded by the Norwegian businessman, Elling Ellingsen, owner of Sea-Link Shipping AB, with the objective to set up cruiseferry connections between the cities of Malmö in Sweden and Lübeck in Germany. Euroway's business concept was to provide a cruise ship-style experience. Euroway planned to open their service in mid-1991, however the first of two large car and passenger ferries ordered from the Brodogradiliste Split shipyard in Croatia, was delayed because of the Yugoslav wars. The first ship, M/S ''Frans Suell'', was not delivered until May 1992. The start was troublesome; it was for a long time unclear when scheduled traffic would begin and marketing was poorly executed. On May 19, ''Frans Suell'' made her first trip from Malmö to Travemünde. On September 1, the route was extended to Lübeck with a one way trip from Malmö to Lübeck via Travemü ...

Ferry Companies Of Sweden
A ferry is a ship, watercraft or amphibious vehicle used to carry passengers, and sometimes vehicles and cargo, across a body of water. A passenger ferry with many stops, such as in Venice, Italy, is sometimes called a water bus or water taxi. Ferries form a part of the public transport systems of many waterside cities and islands, allowing direct transit between points at a capital cost much lower than bridges or tunnels. Ship connections of much larger distances (such as over long distances in water bodies like the Mediterranean Sea) may also be called ferry services, and many carry vehicles. History In ancient times The profession of the ferryman is embodied in Greek mythology in Charon, the boatman who transported souls across the River Styx to the Underworld. Speculation that a pair of oxen propelled a ship having a water wheel can be found in 4th century Roman literature "''Anonymus De Rebus Bellicis''". Though impractical, there is no reason why it could not wor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
