Molslinjen, previously called Mols-Linien is a Danish company that operates ferry services between the Jutland (Jylland) and the island of Zealand (Sjælland). In March 2017, it was announced that the routes in the Kattegat would be renamed to Molslinjen, whereas the Bornholms services would continue to trade as Bornholmslinjen.
Mols-Linien was formed by DFDS in 1964 sailings commenced on 18 May 1966.
A downturn in traffic following the 1973 oil crisis led Mols-Linien into a pooling agreement with rival Grenaa-Hundested Linien in 1979.
In 1984 DFDS sold Mols-Linien and Grenaa-Hundested Linien to J. Lauritzen A/S. The company was sold 4 years later to Danish investment company DIFKO.
In 1999 Mols-Linien merged with Scandlines subsidiary Cat-Link.
Scandlines sold its holding to the Clipper Group in 2008.
In July 2011 Mols-Linien announced it was to close the Kalundborg – Aarhus route and sell the two vessels operating the route.
Mols-Linien closed the Aarhus – Kalundborg route on 15 September 2011. Thereafter the route was operated by Kattegatruten until October 2013 and then suspended.
Mols-Linen operates a fleet of three high speed ferries.
Mols-Linien operates two routes across the Kattegat.
On the trip between Århus and Odden, you can see the island Samsø and the Jutland peninsula Helgenæs.
