Gotlandsbolaget - We pave the way for transportation & societies

Our vision is to create prosperous societies where people can meet, live and work. For almost 160 years, we have paved the way for Gotland to develop, as a destination and as a place to call home. We connect Gotland with the Swedish mainland through one of the most modern maritime transport systems in Europe. Over the years, we have expanded our areas of operation, which now include owning and managing ships, hospitality properties, as well as travel services, real estate, and technical development.

We invest in solutions that promote and develop communities in the places where we operate. This requires new energy, new transport options, new ways of developing property and hospitality services, and new pathways for collaboration and technical development. Through our operations and our employees – we make all this possible.

About us

Gotlandsbolaget (Gotland Company) is the main hub, and through our operations we pave the way for prosperous communities and the future of shipping. We adopt a long-term perspective and see it as our responsibility to ensure that our investments make a difference – for our environment, our customers, our employees as well as our owners. We are currently one of Gotland’s largest employers.

Our operations

We own and operate a fleet of ships, invest in the shipping industry’s climate transition and new technology, and drive the development of sustainable destinations. Our operations run daily ferry services between Gotland and the mainland, and between Nynäshamn and Rostock. We are developing and investing in the energy supply and ship technology, hotels and properties of the future. The common thread running through our operations is that they all benefit the places where we operate, with environmental, economic and social sustainability as our guiding principles.

Destination Zero

Major efforts to support more climate smart and environmentally friendly ways are needed to have thriving communities where people can continue to meet, live and work. Future transport and travel must take place without negative impact on humans or the planet. Our work to cut down on emissions and secure a sustainable business goes under the concept of Destination Zero. Right now, our main focus is on developing hydrogen-powered ships. With these vessels, we will lead the transition to fossil-free travel and an improved shipping industry.
