The story

Namsos Trafikkselskap was founded in 1970 as a merger between Namsos Dampskibsselskab and Namdalen Trafikkselskap.

By 2011, about seventy percent of the company's revenue came from ambulance operations. Starting in 2012, this division was shut down as the various hospital trusts had decided to operate the ambulance services themselves.

It spun off its ferry operations to FosenNamsos Sjø in 2008, retaining a 33-percent stake in the joint venture with Fosen Trafikklag. The stake was later bought by Fosen-owner Torghatten.
