In August 2025, 372,455 foot passengers travelled on Öresund Line ferries – the highest figure since August 1999, before the opening of the Öresund Bridge.

Molslinjen CEO Kristian Durhuus said passengers have embraced digital ticketing, booking and check-in, driving growth in both foot and car traffic.

The month also saw 125,218 cars (+6.4% vs 2024), the highest August figure since 2019. Total passenger numbers reached 733,374, with 1,254 buses, both also the highest since 2019.

• Øresundslinjen carried 2,790,079 passengers in H1 2025, up 2% from 2,738,880 in the same period last year.
• The route between Helsingør and Helsingborg continues to grow since ForSea was acquired by Molslinjen two years ago.
• CEO Kristian Durhuus attributes the growth to ferry renovations, new restaurant concepts, digitised booking, and a simpler ticket structure.
• Passenger numbers are up for the second consecutive year, raising hopes for further growth.
• Car volumes have not yet shown the same increase. “We are missing a few hundred cars,” Durhuus noted.
