In brief

What TT-Line is

Full article ↗

TT-Line GmbH is a shipping company based in Lübeck, Germany, which has been providing ferry service between Travemünde in Schleswig-Holstein and Trelleborg in southern Sweden since 1962. Since 1992, it has also operated a service from Rostock to Trelleborg (until 1997 marketed as TR-Line) and from Swinoujscie in Poland. As of 2023, TT-Line owns nine ferries.
In 1978, TT-Line acquired 50% of Olau Line and purchased the rest of the company in 1979. TT-Line remained the sole owner of Olau Line until the line's closure in 1994. The company is ultimately owned by the German business profiles Bernard Termühlen and Arend Oetker through the holding company Trampschiffahrt GmbH & Co. KG.

In context

How TT-Line compares

Counts over companies and vessels actually held in this directory — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.

With 9 vessels attributed to it here, TT-Line is the 101st largest of the 965 operators in this directory that hold at least one ship on record, against a median of 2 across that group. That is a count of individually identified hulls, not the company’s published fleet size — the two are different measurements and both are shown above where available.

Germany is the country of registration for 147 commercial operators in this directory, among which TT-Line ranks 15th by ships on record. Between them those companies hold 640 vessels here. 1 of them carry a published container-capacity ranking. See every operator registered in Germany.

Founded in 1962, TT-Line is 64 years old. This directory holds 72 operators founded within five years either side of that date, whose median fleet on record is 2 ships. The median founding year across all commercial operators here is 1966, and the oldest on record dates to 1514.
