History

Scandlines used to be co-owned by the Danish Ministry of Transportation (50%) and Deutsche Bahn AG (50%),[2] but as of June 2007, it was sold to a consortium consisting of 3i Group of London (40%), Allianz Capital Partners (ACP) of Munich (40%), and Deutsche Seereederei (DSR) of Rostock (20%). The consortium bought Scandlines for a total of 1,560 million euros. On 29 October 2010, DSR's 20% share of Scandlines was acquired by 3i Group and ACP. At the end of 2013 3i Group acquired ACP's stake for 165 million euros, becoming the sole owner of Scandlines.

Since 2018, Scandlines has been owned by a consortium consisting of 3i, First State Investments, and Hermes Investment Management.

With a total of six hybrid ferries (four operating on Rødby–Puttgarden and two on Gedser–Rostock), Scandlines is the owner of the world's largest hybrid ferry fleet.

Scandlines also owns the world's largest hybrid ferries, the M/V Berlin and M/V Copenhagen.[3]
