Freight

Freight between Denmark and Sweden

Our ferries sail with freight transport (through trucks) between Denmark and Sweden 24 hours a day. During business hours we sail every 15 minutes Tuesday-Thursday and every 20 minutes Friday-Monday.

Transport your cargo the shortest and greenest way across the sound. Drivers and truck drivers daily use the crossing as a quick and easy way to cross the sound between Helsingborg and Helsingør.

There is always a departure to choose, and the break on the ferry saves both time and shortens the driving range.

We are now ORESUNDSLINJEN

As you may have noticed we have changed out name to ORESUNDSLINJEN. If you are used to transport freight with us, you are getting the same product and same staff as usual.

Our new name will in time be implemented, and we will inform if there is any affect related to freight.

No CO2 tax in 2024 on ORESUNDSLINJEN

ETS - Emissions Trading System - will be introduced by EU in the shipping industry in 2024. The purpose is to accelerate shipping companies' investment in green alternatives to conventional ship and ferry propulsion.

Most of our crossings already operate on battery power with green electricity, which means that since we already have made a significant portion of the investment, ORESUNDSLINJEN will only be affected in lessor extent in 2024.

We have therefore chosen to remove the ETS tax from our freight customers, on all crossings in 2024.

Remember, you can always get it the information about your CO2-emissions regarding the number of freight crossings you have with us.

New pricestructure on ORESUNDSLINJEN - cheaper transportation of road trains

Trucks are getting longer and longer. This is a fact that ORESUNDSLINJEN must act on. Goods transported through road trains is less harmful to the climate and it can even be transported on battery power with ORESUNDSLINJEN - often with a significantly shorter driving distance.

Road trains have since the beginning of the experimental scheme in Denmark been a transportation option on ORESUNDSLINJEN.

From January 1st 2024 all road trains will be transferred at the same sea fright rate as a normal tractor-trailer up to a maximum length of 17 meters. The unit price will apply to all trucks ranging from 16 to 25.25 meters.

Even better opportunities for transport of dangerous goods

Our freight ferry, Mercandia IV, that operates during daytime on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays carries many toxicities and only with a limit of passengers.

This means that it is not necessary to wait on the night crossing

In practice, this means that it's not necessary to wait for the dedicated nighttime sailing on our passenger ferry for many hazard classes that require passenger restrictions.

Furthermore, we will now transport dangerous goods of class 2.2, packing group D, with our freight ferry. This includes liquid and compressed gases. A combination of new risk assessment and changed conditions now makes it possible.

As always, dangerous goods should be notified to adr.helsingborg@forseaferries.com or adr.helsingor@forseaferries.com. You can also contact us if you have any other questions concerning when specific toxicities are transferred.
