MF Tycho Brahe

M/F "Tycho Brahe" is a Danish train and car ferry that operates between Helsingør, Denmark and Helsingborg, Sweden, a distance of just 5 km. M/F "Tycho Brahe" has been in use since 1991. The ship is bidirectional, therefore she can change direction without turning around, so no time is lost for this. The ship is also able to accelerate and decelerate quite quickly to and from her maximum speed of 14 knots.

The ship is named after the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe. M/F "Tycho Brahe" was built by Langsten Slip & Båtbyggeri in Tomrafjord, Norway. Currently, the ship is owned by Scandlines A/S and operated by Scandlines GmbH. Between 1991 and 1997, M/F "Tycho Brahe" was owned by DSB Rederi.

M/F "Tycho Brahe" can carry 1250 passengers, 260 trucks, 240 cars and 9 passenger train coaches at one time. The ship has three railtracks with the total length of 266 meters.

M/F "Tycho Brahe" has a sister ship, the MS "Aurora" at Helsingborg.
