Travel and Freight Transport in the North Atlantic
Smyril Line’s primary workarea is travel and freight transport in the North Atlantic.
Smyril Line was founded in 1982 by ship officers working onboard the ferry M/F Smyril. They purchased the ferry Gustav Vasa, named it M/S Norröna, and in 1983 Smyril Line started sailing M/F Smyril’s old route.
Smyril Line is today a well-reputed travel and shipping company.
