Swedish ferry company Stena Line will enter the Finnish market with a new daily route from Hanko in Finland to Swedish Nyn\u00e4shamn. The new route is the next step in Stena Line\u2019s ambition to further strengthen its position in the Baltic Sea. Starting with one ferry in February, the new route will be served with two vessels with daily departures from each port as of May 2022. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201dWith our new daily route between Hanko and Nyn\u00e4shamn, we heavily expand and strengthen our position in the Baltic Sea. Growing with our customers, we are investing in the new service to accommodate the increasing demand of our freight customers for seamless transports in the Baltic Sea and beyond. By extending our network to Finland, we further improve and expand the most comprehensive, efficient, and integrated ferry network in northern Europe\u201d, says Niclas M\u00e5rtensson, CEO Stena Line.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The new route between Hanko and Nyn\u00e4shamn starts on 1 February 2022 and will be served by the vessel Urd three times per week and port. The second vessel, Stena Gothica, will join the route on 1 May 2022. Hanko-Nyn\u00e4shamn will then be served with daily departures from both ports allowing for smooth loading and unloading during full day port stays.<\/p>\n

Dedicated freight RoPax ferries, the vessels Urd and Stena Gothica have a capacity of 1,600 lane meters and 186 passengers. They add up to Stena Line\u00b4s latest investments in the expansive Baltic Sea area, including the deployment of two long newly built E-Flexers on the route Nyn\u00e4shamn-Ventspils and the large capacity improvement on Karlskrona-Gdynia with the recently lengthened Stena Scandica and Stena Baltica.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a real pleasure to welcome Stena Line in Hanko. As a leading port for efficient transport routes and at a central location in southern Finland, we share Stena Line\u00b4s goal of building\u00a0sustainable transport chains in the Baltic. Hanko\u00a0is a key hub for trade and industrial products,\u00a0the automotive industry and export of forest industry products. The new route extends our connections to key target markets in Sweden\u201d, says Anders Ahlvik, Managing Director at Port of Hanko.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe warmly welcome the new route between Hanko in Finland and Nyn\u00e4shamn in Sweden. We are very happy about our long-term multi-year collaboration with Stena Line and that they have chosen to expand in a major way and invest in our new port in Stockholm Norvik,\u201c states Fredrik Lindst\u00e5l, (C) Chair of the Board of Ports of Stockholm.<\/p>\n
