Rederiet

One of the most successful soap operas in the history of Swedish television. The story is about a family run shipping company (Dahlénrederiet), which operates on the Baltic Sea. The series takes place both in Stockholm (mostly in the office of the company) and on board the ship M/S Freja. The company has for decades been run by the Dahlén family, but as the story unfolds there are other companies and people who are trying to gain control over the company, which leads to a constant struggle for the power. It is also a constant struggle for higher positions at the office and on the ship, and some people use their position to make some extra money. In the middle of all these problems are of course many troubles with the passengers or with the ship which have to be solved. So there are (as always in a soap opera), terrible accidents, deaths, murders, smuggling, theft, infidelity, arson, rape, drugs and many other terrible things. But there will also be a lot of love and friendship and maybe some unknown relatives will show up.
