What is "waxholmsbolaget"

Waxholms Ångfartygs AB, commonly referred to as Waxholmsbolaget, is a shipping company that is owned by Stockholm county council and is responsible for the seaborne public transport in Stockholm archipelago and Stockholm harbour. The company, which is mostly tax-funded, carried about 4.3 million travellers in 2003, covering a region from Arholma in north to Landsort in south.

The company owns 21 archipelago boats, and four boats for the inner-city Djurgårdsfärjan line. The operation of the ships is handled by several contractors, some of whom have their own ships.
