Molslinjen has started the process of recruiting a new CEO.
Kristian Durhuus will step down after nearly three years in the role.

  • Durhuus became CEO in March 2023 following Molslinjen’s acquisition of ForSea, now Øresundslinjen.
  • Owners Nordic Ferry Infrastructure (NFI) say the next development phase requires a different leadership profile.
  • Major strategic projects are completed or well underway, including:
    • Full integration of Øresundslinjen
    • New electric ferries in operation on Alslinjen and Samsølinjen
    • Construction of three battery-powered catamarans in Australia
  • Electrification of Kattegat services is now in progress.
  • Carsten Jensen, CEO of NFI, will serve as interim CEO until a successor is appointed.

Durhuus said he is proud to have contributed to what he described as the world’s largest electrification project at sea.
