Mols-Linien routes

Mols-Linien is a Danish company that operates ferry services between the Jutland (Jylland) and the island of Zealand (Sjælland).

History

Mols-Linien was formed by DFDS in 1964 sailings commenced on the 18th May 1966.^[1]

A downturn in traffic following the 1973 oil crisis led Mols-Linien into a pooling agreement with rival Grenaa-Hundested Linien in 1979.^[2]

In 1984 DFDS sold Mols-Linien and Grenaa-Hundested Linien to J. Lauritzen A/S. The company was sold 4 years later to Danish investment company DIFKO.

In 1999 Mols-Linien merged with Scandlines subsidiary Cat-Link.

Scandlines sold its holding to the Clipper Group in 2008.

In July 2011 Mols-Linien announced it was to close the Kalundborg - Aarhus route and sell the two vessels operating the route.^[3]

Mols-Linien closed the Aarhus - Kalundborg route on 15 September 2011. The route is now operated by Kattegatruten.
