=== Ferries === The Faroese ferry company [[Strandfaraskip Landsins]] operates a network of ferries, in addition to the rural blue buses, called Bygdaleiðir (Villagelines). Their largest vessel is the ''Smyril'', a roll-on/roll-off ferry which maintains the link between Tórshavn and the southern island, [[Suðuroy]]. This vessel entered service in 2005. Another ferry, ''Teistin'', a roll-on-off ferry, maintains the link between the island of [[Sandoy]] and Streymoy; the ferry port on Streymoy is at [[Gamlarætt]] near [[Kirkjubøur]] and [[Velbastaður]] on the south-west coast of Streymoy. A [[Sandoyartunnilin|sub-sea tunnel]] is under construction between Sandoy and Streymoy, it will open in 2023 according to the plan. After that there will not be need of a ferry between the two islands. The proposed [[Suðuroyartunnilin]] would also remove the ferry services to Skúvoy and Suðuroy. Since the early 1980s, [[Smyril Line (international ferry service)|Smyril Line]] has operated a regular international passenger, car and freight service using a large, modern, multipurpose ferry, the ''Norröna''. The weekly service links the Faroe Islands with [[Seyðisfjörður]], Iceland, and [[Hirtshals]], Denmark.<ref>{{cite web| url=https://en.smyrilline.fo/Files/Images/smyrilline_2018/PDF/Schedules/2022/EN_Sailing_Schedule-2022.pdf| title=Sailing Schedule 2022| publisher=Smyril Line| access-date=6 August 2022 }}</ref>
