About ORESUNDSLINJEN
Previously known as ForSea, we are now ORESUNDSLINJEN.
In the future, you will travel with ORESUNDSLINJEN when crossing the sound between Helsingør and Helsingborg. The name change follows the acquisition of ForSea by Denmark's largest ferry company, Molslinjen A/S, making ForSea a part of Nordic Ferry Infrastructure, NFI. We will continue to lead in the green transformation of Danish and Swedish ferry operations, and together with Molslinjen A/S, we can enhance the passenger experience and cooperation between the routes.
