Private equity firm EQT has signed an agreement to divest a 30 percent stake in Nordic Ferry Infrastructure (NFI), the Oslo‑based operator of several Baltic Sea routes. The buyers form a consortium of Swedish ferry owner Rederiaktiebolaget Gotland, Swiss‑based Interogo Infrastructure and Denmark’s Lægernes Pension. EQT will retain a controlling interest after the deal closes. The sale follows EQT’s broader strategy to trim non‑core holdings.

The transaction values NFI’s assets at roughly €1 billion, reflecting strong cash flows from passenger and freight services that benefit from rising tourism and supply‑chain shifts in Northern Europe. By bringing in operators with direct maritime experience, the consortium aims to modernise vessels and expand digital ticketing, potentially boosting EBITDA margins for the joint venture. Analysts expect synergies worth several million euros.

Retaining majority control allows EQT to continue steering NFI’s strategic direction while monetising part of its investment. For the new shareholders, the stake provides a foothold in a stable, regulated transport sector with limited competition. Both parties will report the transaction in the next quarterly filings. The deal underscores ongoing private‑equity interest in infrastructure assets that deliver predictable returns amid volatile equity markets.
