Swedish Tor Line was formed by Rederi Transoil and Rederi Rex, its name combining their initials. Lloyds gives 1966, while a former manager dates inception to 1965. Bratt-Götha and KNSM joined as the service expanded from England to Holland; Salén acquired Rex in 1967. After brief co-operation with Sessan, Tor was sold to DFDS in 1981 and continued under the Danish flag. Lloyds dates the DFDS Tor Line name to 1999, but a July 1986 photograph already shows it on Tor Scandinavia. A proposed North Sea Line merger in 1999 apparently did not occur.
