I am surprised the route is not electrified.

With the new Fehmarn Belt Fiexed Link this line will be electrified too. Read more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fehmarn_Belt_Fixed_Link
At the moment only ICE trains can use this line because other trains would be too long(the ferry size is a restriction). Freight Trains use the northern route via the danish mainland and the islands of Funen and Zealand. There are already bridges to connect the danish capital to the mainland. This is the more cost efficent way.
