Nordic Ferry Infrastructure reportedly up for sale

FinanceThe Swedish investment fund EQT is reported in the Danish financial press (Børsen) to have initiated a sales process for the Oslo-based company Nordic Ferry Infrastructure - a company that owns Danish Molslinjen and Norwegian Torghatten, both of which are among the leading domestic and regional ferry operators in their respective countries.

EQT acquired Molslinjen back in 2020 from the investment firm Polaris. Since then, Molslinjen in particular has continuously increased its revenue and therefore likely represents a significant value gain for EQT. The information regarding an ongoing search for a new owner of Nordic Ferry Infrastructure had not been confirmed by any of the involved parties.

Nordic Ferry Infrastructure was formed in February 2022 through the combination of Molslinjen and Torghatten, as well as the addition of ForSea in January 2023. It is the leading pan-Nordic floating bridge operator with a well-diversified portfolio of over 60 routes operated by over 100 vessels, transporting over 25 million passengers per year. Its business units are market leaders in their respective countries.

Torghatten operates over 70 car ferries and smaller passenger ferries on 40 different connections along the Norwegian coastline, typically under medium to long term contracts with public transportation authorities. Danish Molslinjen links Denmark’s major population centres and connects several islands with the mainland. It operates a fleet of 18 vessels connecting 10 routes, including connections to Sweden and Germany, under long-term concession agreements as well as on a commercial basis as the sole operator with high barriers to entry.
