Read from the single most-recent AIS broadcast we hold for this hull — we keep no position history, so this is a point-in-time posture, not a dwell inference. Derived in-house from our own AIS feed; weight it by the broadcast age above.

A coverage-weighted blend of the 2 components we could read for this hull — the weights renormalise over only the components present, so a thin read is never inflated and a hull is never credited a “safe 0” for a signal it has no row for. This headline is flagged low-confidence (a thin or structural-only read) and should not be treated as a verdict. Higher means riskier. Derived in-house from government-open port-State-control, flag, sanctions and our own vessel data; weight it by the coverage above.

Overview

About This Vessel

MF Tycho Brahe is a Danish battery-electric car-ferry owned by Øresundslinjen that operates on the 5 km (3.1 mi) HH Ferry route. It started as a diesel ferry in 1991. The ship is bidirectional, which means it 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. MF Tycho Brahe was built by Langsten Slip & Båtbyggeri in Tomrefjord, Norway. The ship is owned and operated by Øresundslinjen, performing 46 trips per day. Between 1991 and 1997, Tycho Brahe was owned by DSB Rederi. The ferry can carry 1250 passengers, and either 260 trucks, 240 cars or 9 passenger train coaches at one time. It was built with three railtracks inside, with a total length of 266 meters.
