Royal Arctic Line A/S (RAL) or Royal Arctic is a seaborne freight company in Greenland, wholly owned by the Government of Greenland. It was formed in 1993,[2] and is headquartered in Nuuk.[1]
History
Royal Arctic Line A/S was spun off as a company separate from the Greenlandic conglomerate KNI in 1993. Like many Greenlandic companies, its operations derive from and carry on the traditions of the earlier Royal Greenland Trading Department.
In 2020, Royal Arctic Line entered into a partnership with Icelandic shipping line Eimskip. RAL therefore began calling in Reykjavík for the first time, easing onward shipping to North America.[3]
