MS "Smyril" is the fifth "Smyril" in service between Tórshavn and Suðuroy since 1895, the name meaning "merlin". She takes up 975 passengers and up to 200 cars and was built in 2005. The crossing over Suðuroyarfjørður takes two hours and five minutes in normal weather and swell conditions, though especially in winter trips are often cancelled or severely delayed. As of 2020 "Smyril" crosses the Suðuroyarfjør either twice-daily (3 days per week) or thrice-daily (4 days per week). It is common for Suðuroyingar to stay at friends or family in Tórshavn during weekdays, though others commute on a more-less daily basis.
