EQT Infrastructure is combining the two leading ferry companies, Molslinjen and Torghatten, under one common holding vehicle to establish a pan-Nordic floating bridge and island-to-mainland transportation infrastructure champion. The combined entity will become the leading maritime transportation company located in one of the most attractive and creditworthy regions, with a strong and resilient financial profile underpinned by robust cash flow visibility and a highly diversified route and contract portfolio.

“As a financier of new technologies, we are happy to finance the electric vessels of Torghatten and Molslinjen in this loan deal with EQT. By financing the electrification of these ferries, we are part of phasing out fossil fuels and creating more sustainable ferry transport service, while contributing to Denmark and Norway reaching their national targets of decarbonizing their transport sectors in line with the Paris Agreement,” says André Küüsvek, NIB President and CEO.
