About
About Mols-Linien
Molslinjen is one of the largest fast-ferry operators in the world, running 18 ships including some of the biggest catamaran ferries ever built — vessels that make up to 40 knots, about 75 km/h. Our timetable holds one of its routes, and it is not the one the company is named after.
What we actually list: Bornholm to Sweden
Rønne to Ystad and back carry 9 departures each way at 80 minutes — the crossing between the Danish island of Bornholm and the Swedish mainland. Sailings from Rønne run 06:30 to 20:30 and from Ystad 08:30 to 22:30. The company’s Jutland-to-Zealand routes, the ones that gave it its name, are not in our data.
Seven different day patterns on one crossing
The nine departures each way carry seven distinct day masks between them. Some run every day, some only at weekends, some on midweek combinations. On a route where the alternative is a long detour by land, the sailing you assume exists may not run on the day you travel — check the date before the hour.
Started as a company owned by the public
Molslinjen began in 1963 as a folkeaktieselskab, a company floated to ordinary shareholders rather than founded by a shipping family. The first ferry, Mette Mols, sailed on 18 May 1966. Today the operator describes itself as the link between Denmark and Sweden and between the islands and the mainland, running buses as well as ships.
The world’s largest battery ferries are on another of its routes
On Øresundslinjen the company runs what it describes as the largest battery-powered ferries in the world on a high-frequency service, drawing almost entirely on wind, hydro and solar electricity. That route is not in our data either, but it is the reason this operator turns up in conversations about electrified shipping.
A note on where these times come from
Molslinjen publishes a machine-readable real-time schedule catalogue for its whole network. The figures on this page come from our own timetable data rather than from that feed, so treat them as indicative and confirm the exact sailing with the operator — particularly given how much this route varies by day of the week.
