context_page_description: The Smyril is a passenger and car ferry owned and operated by the Faroese transport company Strandfaraskip Landsins. She is the largest ferry in the fleet and the 5th vessel to carry the name Smyril, which is the Faroese word for Merlin. The ferry takes 200 cars and 975 passengers.
  The ferry services Suðuroy. It has 2-3 daily arrivals to Krambatangi, the Suðuroy ferry port. The trip from Tórshavn to Tvøroyri takes 2 hours. It is then possible to go by bus from the harbour of Krambatangi to all other villages on the island.
context_section_description: A new harbour was built to accommodate the newer larger version of the Smyril in 2004. The new harbour is called Krambatangi. The former harbour was a few hundred metres further east, on the same side of the fjord of Tvøroyri, the southern side. The old harbour was called Drelnes. The new harbour Krambatangi is located between the villages of Trongisvágur and Øravík, and is in Øravíkarlíð, not far from Trongisvágur. The villages around the fjord of Trongisvágsfjørður are Øravík, Trongisvágur, Tvøroyri and Froðba. Tvøroyri, which is one of the largest villages on Suðuroy, is just on the opposite side of the fjord.
