Et firma i vækst

Bornholmstrafikken blev oprettet tilbage i 1866 af nogle bornholmske forretningsmænd, som ønskede at sikre en mere stabil forbindelse mellem Bornholm og det øvrige Danmark. Oprindelig hed rederiet ”Dampskibsselskabet paa Bornholm af 1866”, og i daglig tale blev rederiet benævnt "66"-selskabet.

Rederiet var helt frem til 1973 et privatejet aktieselskab, og da den danske stat i 1973 overtog ansvaret for besejlingen af Bornholm, fik Bornholmstrafikken sit nuværende navn og blev et statsselskab under Trafikministeriet.

I 2003 blev Bornholmstrafikkens ruter til Køge og Ystad sat i EU-udbud. Bornholmstrafikken vandt ruterne, og rederiet overgik den 1. maj 2005 til at være et statsejet aktieselskab. Og siden har udviklingen i Bornholmstrafikken taget fart:

I 2007 gik Bornholmstrafikken A/S sammen med Clipper A/S om dannelsen af Nordic Ferry Services, og samme år vandt selskabet udbuddet om ruten mellem Sælvig på Samsø og Hou, Jylland, nu Samsøtrafikken. Administrationen af Samsøtrafikken varetages af Bornholmstrafikken.

Desuden er Samsø Liniens rute til Sjælland lagt i management hos Bornholmstrafikken, og den 1. januar 2010 overtog Nordic Ferry Services ruten formelt.

Clipper A/S købte 1. januar 2008 rederiet Sydfynske A/S, og administrationen af Sydfynskes tre ruter blev lagt i management hos Bornholmstrafikken. Samtidig fik ruterne nye navne, nemlig Alstrafikken, Fanøtrafikken og Langelandstrafikken.

I 2010 blev Nordic Ferry Services, Bornholmstrafikken og Sydfynske sammenlagt til Færgen A/S.

Det betyder, at Færgen i dag driver en rute til Tyskland (Rønne- Sassnitz) og 7 indenrigsruter i Danmark. Få et overblik på www.faergen.dk .

A company growing

Bornholmstrafikken was established back in 1866 by some local business people from the isle of Bornholm, who wanted to provide a more reliable ferry connection between the isle of Bornholm and the rest of Denmark. Originally, the company was called ”Dampskibsselskabet paa Bornholm of 1866” (“The steamship Company on Bornholm of 1866”), colloquially referred to as the ”66”-company.

Up until 1973, the shipping company was a privately owned limited company. When the Danish Government in 1973 took over the responsibility for servicing the isle of Bornholm, the company was renamed to its present name; Bornholmstrafikken, and it became a governmentally owned company under the Danish Ministry of Transport.

In 2003, Bornholmstrafikken’s ferry lines to the two cities Køge (Denmark) and Ystad (Sweden) were put out for tender. Bornholmstrafikken won the tender and, on 1 May 2005, the company became a public limited company. The development since has been rapid:

In 2007, Bornholmstrafikken A/S joined forces with Clipper A/S and formed the company Nordic Ferry Services, and the same year, Nordic Ferry Services won the tender for the ferry line between the city Sælvig on the Danish isle of Samsø and the city Hou in Jutland. This line is today called Samsøtrafikken. Samsøtrafikken is managed by Bornholmstrafikken.

The ferry line between Samsø and Zealand is owned by the company Samsø Linien. Bornholmstrafikken today manages this ferry line and, on 1 January 2010, Nordic Ferry Services formally took over this ferry line.

On 1 January 2008, Clipper A/S bought the shipping company Sydfynske A/S. The management of Sydfynske’s three ferry lines is handled by Bornholmstrafikken. At the same time, the ferry lines were renamed Alstrafikken, Fanøtrafikken and Langelandstrafikken.

In 2010 Nordic Ferry Services, Bornholmstrafikken and Sydfynske were merged into Færgen A/S.

All in all, Færgen today runs one ferry line to Germany (Rønne-Sassnitz) and seven Danish Domestic ferry lines. For a general view, please visit www.faergen.dk.
