Profile

BornholmsTrafikken was founded in 1866 as a privately-owned joint stock company, but was taken over by the Danish government in the early 1970s and remains state-owned today under the Danish Ministry of Transport. However, there are now moves to privatise the ferry operation to and from Bornholm, an island in the Baltic Sea.

In the meantime, the mission of BornholmsTrafikken, as stated in its Articles of Association, remains to provide transport for passengers, mail and goods to and from Bornholm. The company, in view of becoming privatised, has embarked on the 'Best Service' project, to improve the efficiency of the company both organisationally and financially, without sacrificing quality.
