Key figures 2025

CEO Kristian Durhuus said the results reflect the impact of sustained digital and operational development.

Onboard experience gains

ForSea brand discontinued

By | 2023 Newsletter week 38 | No Comments

The ferry company on the route between Helsingør and Helsingborg is changing its name. The current ForSea will become Øresundlinjen.

This is the effect of Molslinjen’s purchase of the Helsingborg-based shipping company in autumn 2022.

Molslinjen expects the entire rebranding as well as new paint and logo on all ferries to be completed during 2025.

The first ferry, TYCHO BRAHE, is scheduled to return to service on 4 October 2023.
