Stena Line sets sail to Finland for the first time
On 1 February 2022, the first ferry on Stena Line’s new route Nynäshamn-Hanko set sail towards Finland
Urd left Nynäshamn, Stockholm Norvik Port after an inauguration ceremony. Starting with three departures per week, the Nynäshamn-Hanko route will switch to a daily schedule, when ferry Stena Gothica joins its sister vessel in the beginning of May.
”By Urd’s departure to Finland, we close a gap in the transport network. This new service is primarily an outcome of customer dialogue and market demand. So far the response has been very positive which shows we made the right decision”, said Stena Line trade director Baltic Sea North Stena Line Johan Edelman.
The new route marks the next step in Stena Line’s ambition to further expand and strengthen its position in the Baltic Sea.
“It is a straight forward, transport-focused setup, dedicated to establishing a floating bridge between central Sweden and southern Finland. Reliable ships and flexible, solution-seeking staff are the pillars of Nynäshamn-Hanko,” said Mr Edelman.
On 1 February, the first ship sailed towards Finnish Hanko overnight with a crossing time of 12 hours. Nynäshamn-Hanko is the first route from Stena Line connecting Sweden with mainland Finland.
“The commitment of Stena Line in introducing another route from Stockholm Norvik Port emphasises how important the newly built port is for the sustainable supply of goods to Sweden’s largest consumer area,” said Ports of Stockholm chair of the board Fredrik Lindstål.
The vessels Urd and Stena Gothica offer a capacity of 1,600 lane metres and can carry 186 passengers each.
