Sailing Through Time: Real-Time Ferry Service on the Kiel Fjord via Digital Connections
Digitally linked ferry routes in the fjord facilitate seamless navigation and transit. - Ferry Transportation Now Connected Digitally
Ever wondered about your Kiel Ferry? Wonder no more! Gone are the days of peering at the Kiel Fjord, hoping to spot your ferry. Now, all you need is a grab of your smartphone. The city of Kiel and regional transport company (NAH.SH) have teamed up to create a state-of-the-art ferry guidance system.
Keeping track of departure and arrival times, as well as the vessels' capacity, has gone digital! Real-time updates are available at all ferry stops and via mobility apps. But don't fret about the cost. The project, which rings in at approximately 1.5 million euros, is backed by the federal government, with the city of Kiel pitching in an additional 170,000 euros.
One ferry line links the west and east sides of the fjord. The second line connects Kiel and several locations up the fjord, all the way to Laboe (Plön district), and to Strande in the Rendsburg-Eckernförde district during the summer season.
