Sallingsund Færgefart, Ferry service in Sallingsund, Denmark
Sallingsund Færgefart was a ferry service that crossed the Sallingsund strait in northern Denmark, connecting the Salling peninsula with the island of Mors. A fleet of wooden vessels operated regular passages, transporting both vehicles and passengers across the waterway.
The ferry was established in 1924 to meet growing transportation needs between the regions. It operated for more than 50 years until the Sallingsund Bridge opened in 1978, making the water crossing unnecessary.
The ferry service was the daily lifeline that connected families, workers, and communities across the strait for generations. It shaped how people lived and moved between Salling and Mors, becoming woven into local identity and routine.
The ferries operated frequent crossings throughout the day, making the journey convenient for regular commuters and travelers. Both vehicles and pedestrians could board, with the strait crossing taking only a short time.
The service started with a single small ship that could carry only about ten automobiles per crossing. Over the decades, the fleet grew substantially until it became one of the busiest ferry routes in Denmark at its peak.
