SL Ferries
SL ferries (short for Swedish ''Skandinavisk Linjetrafik'' or Scandinavian Line Traffic) was a shipping line that operated with car ferries in the central part of Øresund, between Copenhagen, Tuborg Havn, Port of Tuborg, Zealand, Denmark and Landskrona, Scania, Sweden. The shipping line was to sail this route between 1951 and 1980. During the first ten years of operation, the SL ferries was a Danish owned shipping line, but in 1961 SL was bought by ''Stockholms Rederi AB Svea''. The new owners also owned the LB (car ferries) which since 1955 operated at the HH Ferry route between Helsingør (45 km north of Copenhagen) and Helsingborg (25 km north of Landskrona), the first challenger of the ''de facto'' monopoly at that route which DSB (railway company), DSB had enjoyed since 1882. While the conditions at the HH Ferry route were hectic, both for passengers and shipping lines, as the crossing time was only around 20 minutes, the route between Landskrona and (northern) Copen ...

Water Transport In Denmark
Water (chemical formula ) is an inorganic, transparent, tasteless, odorless, and nearly colorless chemical substance, which is the main constituent of Earth's hydrosphere and the fluids of all known living organisms (in which it acts as a solvent). It is vital for all known forms of life, despite not providing food, energy or organic micronutrients. Its chemical formula, H2O, indicates that each of its molecules contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms, connected by covalent bonds. The hydrogen atoms are attached to the oxygen atom at an angle of 104.45°. "Water" is also the name of the liquid state of H2O at standard temperature and pressure. A number of natural states of water exist. It forms precipitation in the form of rain and aerosols in the form of fog. Clouds consist of suspended droplets of water and ice, its solid state. When finely divided, crystalline ice may precipitate in the form of snow. The gaseous state of water is steam or water vapor. Water co ...

Limhamn
Limhamn () is, in an administrative sense, the southern district of Malmö Municipality in Sweden. Before 1915, Limhamn was (briefly) a town of its own. The population of Limhamn-Bunkeflo (including suburbs) is 31,000, of which 7,000 live in the southern suburbs Tygelsjö and Bunkeflostrand, and some live in neighbourhoods that are not usually counted to Limhamn proper. History Archeological findings revealed a stoneage village from the Ertebølle culture at Limhamn. The interpretation of Limhamn's fate in later times diverge. Limhamn is by some held to have been one of the more important fishing villages in Scania, with a population living of the sea and relatively stable in size through the centuries, but this opinion is not undisputed. Limestone has been quarried in Limhamns kalkbrott since the early 16th century or earlier, which can be inferred from the fact that king Christian II of Denmark (1513–1523) forbade the trade on the illegal harbour Limhamn.
