The former Knudshoved car ferry port was the starting point of the ferry service
across the Great Belt between the Danish island of Funen and Zealand (Halsskov).
This route was inaugurated on May 27, 1957, to provide an alternative to the congested Korsør-Nyborg railway ferry service, which often resulted in long waiting times.
The ferry service was operated by the Danish State Railways (DSB).
The first ferry in service, the "M/S Halsskov," was a double-decker ferry
capable of carrying up to 200 cars and 1,000 passengers. Over the years,
other vessels were used on this route, including one named after the port, the "Knudshoved."
The era of the Knudshoved ferry port ended on June 14, 1998, when the fixed link
across the Great Belt, the Storebæltsforbindelsen, was opened.
Ferry service was discontinued, the port lost its original function
and is now a lost place.
