Gotlandsbolaget becomes co-owner of Molslinjen and Torghatten
FerryEQT Infrastructure has signed an agreement to sell a 30% stake in Nordic Ferry Infrastructure (NFI), containing the ferry operators Molslinjen and Torghatten, to the new-established consortium NP HoldCo AS, composed of Rederiaktiebolaget Gotland AB, publ. (Gotlandsbolaget), Interogo Infrastructure and Lægernes Pension (Danish medical doctors pension fund). EQT will remain the majority owner following completion of the transaction.
Headquartered in Oslo, Norway, NFI was built under EQT's ownership through the acquisition and combination of Molslinjen and Torghatten in 2021-22 and the subsequent addition of ForSea in 2023. Today, the Company operates a diversified platform of 59 routes with 101 vessels across Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, connecting cities, islands, and coastal communities through a route network of over 1,400 km. Serving more than 25 million passengers annually, the Company provides essential transport connectivity for both passengers and vehicles, with key routes operating at high frequency, across the Nordic transport network.
The Company works in partnership with local transport authorities to deliver critical transport infrastructure and decarbonization. Under EQT's ownership, NFI has expanded into new routes and geographies, while improving operational efficiency through scale across procurement, maintenance, and digital systems. EQT has supported the establishment of NFI's group functions, the strengthening of its management team, and the implementation of a sustainability-linked capital structure.
Fleet modernization and decarbonization efforts have also been advanced, including the electrification of operations. These initiatives have contributed to an 11% reduction in total CO2 emissions between 2022 and 2024 and strengthened NFI's position in lower-emission ferry infrastructure in the Nordics. The broadened investor base is expected to support NFI's next phase of development.
This includes continued investment in fleet decarbonization and electrification, selective growth in existing and new markets, and further operational improvements across the platform. Together, these capabilities are expected to further support NFI's long-term development as a leading ferry infrastructure operator across the Nordics.
