EQT Infrastructure has agreed to acquire Molslinjen, Denmark’s largest passenger ferry company, from a group of shareholders led by Polaris.
According to EQT, Molslinjen is a critical part of Denmark’s transportation infrastructure. Its routes constitute a network of “floating bridges” that link Denmark’s major population centers and connect several important islands with the mainland.
EQT Infrastructure is planning to focus on customer service improvements for Molslinjen, such as refitting of the vessel layout, increased departure frequency and higher passenger capacity on popular routes.
“The next development phase of Molslinjen will be defined by the company’s ambitious sustainability agenda and continued investments in electrification and renewable fuel sources,” said Daniel Perez, partner at EQT. “In parallel, we also believe that there is scope to further build on Molslinjen’s successful inorganic growth strategy.”
