Description
Company history
The Danish ferry company Bornholmstrafikken was founded in 1866 by local businessmen from the island of Bornholm. Originally the company was called ’Dampskibsselskabet paa Bornholm af 1866 A/S’, and it was commonly referred to as the ’66’ company. The company was run as a privately owned joint-stock company until 1973.
In 1973, the Danish state took over the ferry company under the provisions of Act No. 272, and from then on Bornholmstrafikken was run as a state owned company.
The company’s operating budget and investment budget are financed separately under the Danish Finance Law, and from an organisational perspective, the ferry company is a department subordinate to the Danish Ministry of Transport.
