Over 60 years and many milestones later, Stena is still a family-owned company, stating its values as being care for customers, care for resources and care for each other. Stena Line is now one of Europe's leading ferry companies, with 39 vessels and 18 routes in Northern Europe, playing an important part in the European logistics network and an important role for tourism in Europe with its extensive passenger operations. Sten Olsson founded a metal recycling company in Sweden, and in 1946 bought his first vessel, naming it Dan (after his first son), and the shipping business started on a small scale. He entered the passenger shipping business in 1962, when he took over the Gothenburg-Skagen (Jutland) route from a Danish company, with low food prices in Denmark and the duty-free shopping on board, combined with the low fares, being a recipe for success. The first ticket booth was introduced at Stenpiren, Gothenburg, close to where Stena Line has its headquarters today.
