  • Arctic Umiaq Line Af Else Thybo Jensen, Konsulent, Arctic Umiaq Line April 2014
    1 Arctic Umiaq Line Af Else Thybo Jensen, konsulent, Arctic Umiaq Line April 2014 Arctic Umiaq Line A/S (AUL) er et passager-og godstransport linje i Grønland. Navnet stammer fra det grønlandske ord for en traditionel inuit båd, konebåden. AUL er et datterselskab af Air Greenland og Royal Arctic Line. Der blev i begyndelsen af kolonisationens tid brugt konebåde af både handelsstationerne og mis- sionen til at komme rundt til fangstpladser og bosteder. Det udviklede sig til at man tog træfartøjer i brug – joller og træbåde, der blev sendt op fra Danmark. Dette udviklede sig hurtigt. Arctic Umiaq Line blev grundlagt i 1774 under navnet Den Kongelige Grønlandske Handel (KGH). I begyndelsen blev den kaldt Den Kongelige grønlandske, islandsk, Finnmark og færøske Handel, men senere var det kun Grønland, det havde monopol på handel og pligt til at bringe forsyninger til/fra Danmark. Man brugte selskabet til at indchartre skibe til sejlads med forsyninger. KGH havde formentlig egne skibe før 1797, men fra den første januar det år, købte Den kongelige Monopolhandel ni skibe af afdøde skibsreder Andreas Bodenhoff enke, Giertrud Birgitte Thosted. KGH havde sit hovedsæde i København, og de næste knap 200 år sejlede skibe til Grønland herfra. I 1972 afgik det sidste skib fra København til Grønland og hvorefter der blev sejlet til Grønlands fra Aalborg. I 1986 overtog Grønlands Hjemmestyre KGH og videreførte det under navnet Kalaallit Niuerfiat (KNI). Året forinden i 1985 udskiltes Royal Greenland (fiskeindhandling) i et selvstændigt selskab og i 1993 omdannedes KNI til flere selvstændige aktieselskaber, som fx Royal Arctic Line og de 2 butikskæder Pisiffik og Pilersuisoq.
