With a 54 percent shareholding, Gotlandsbolaget is the largest shareholder in NP HoldCo AS. Gotlandsbolaget finances its share of the investment with its own funds. EQT will remain the majority owner with 70 percent of the shares in NFI.

"Nordic Ferry Infrastructure is an attractive long-term investment, in line with our strategy to expand in sustainable maritime transportation infrastructure and take a leading role in the development of maritime transportation in the Nordics. The purpose of the investment is also to establish a long-term relationship between Gotlandsbolaget and NFI", says Björn Nilsson, CEO of Gotlandsbolaget and continues:

"I am very pleased that we have been able to enter into this agreement together with Interogo Infrastructure and Lægernes Pension and I look forward to our continued cooperation."

NFI is a leader in Nordic maritime infrastructure, with operations in Norway, Denmark and Sweden, and has had a strong development under EQT's ownership. Through the companies Torghatten and Molslinjen, NFI operates a diversified platform of 59 routes, served by 101 vessels. Every year, more than 25 million passengers travel on the network and the company employs 3,200 people. In 2024, revenues amounted to NOK 9.0 billion with an EBITDA margin of 31 percent.

"Nordic Ferry Infrastructure has been very successful in developing its maritime transport system, where electrified vessels play an important role, while Gotlandsbolaget has a commitment to the development of fossil-free fuels", Björn Nilsson continues.

The transaction provides the opportunity for knowledge transfer and strategic collaborations in the area of maritime infrastructure but does not affect Gotlandsbolaget's operational activities. NP HoldCo AS becomes a subsidiary of Gotlandsbolaget, and the minority stake in NFI is reported as a holding in the balance sheet of NP HoldCo AS.

Also from EQT, this is considered an important milestone:

“This transaction marks an important milestone for Nordic Ferry Infrastructure. We are pleased to welcome new long-term partners - Gotlandsbolaget brings more than 160 years of experience navigating the Nordic seas, and the broadened investor base is well positioned to support management in the next phase of NFI’s development as a leading ferry infrastructure operator across the Nordics”, says Ulrich Köllensperger, Partner at EQT Infrastructure.

Carsten Jensen, CEO of NFI continues, “With EQT, we have built a stronger and a pan-Nordic company, bringing together operators into one platform with a shared strategy and culture. As we enter this next phase, we look forward to working with our new partners to continue improving our services, investing in our fleet, and advancing the transition to more sustainable transport across the Nordics.”

The transaction is subject to required regulatory approvals and is expected to close in Q3, 2026.
