About the Ærøskøbing Havn (færge) – Svendborg Færgehavn crossing
An hour and a quarter each way, eleven times a day, starting at 05:25 and finishing at 20:30 — 77 sailings a week between Ærø and the Funen mainland.
The 05:25 is the sailing the island is built around: it lands at Svendborg before seven, in time for the train to Odense and the working day beyond it. Nothing later would do the same job.
Ærø lies in the South Funen archipelago and has around six thousand residents. In 2019 the island put the world's first fully electric ferry capable of a crossing this length into service on a neighbouring route, charging from its own wind power — a small municipality trying to run its transport without fuel, on water that separates it from everything.
