Finnlines introduces a larger vessel to operate between Finland and Sweden and upgrades services to cargo carriers and private passengers. The vessel will sail under the Finnish flag.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the end of January 2022, the ro-pax vessel Europalink will replace Finnfellow on the Naantali\u2013L\u00e5ngn\u00e4s\u2013Kapellsk\u00e4r route after she has substituted Finnswan during her scheduled dry docking at the beginning of January, and undergone a facelift for public areas. The cargo capacity will increase by 1,200 lane meters and passenger capacity by over 100. She will sail under the Finnish flag, employing about 80 Finnish seafarers.<\/p>\n

Europalink is one of the series of five ro-pax vessels, one of which, Finnswan, has been operating on the route since 2018. The entry of Europalink means that both morning and evening departures offer the same capacity and a uniform service concept and facilities for all customers. Before transferring to the Finland\u2013Sweden traffic, the public areas on Europalink will be refurbished to upgrade travel comfort. Finnfellow will move from Naantali to the Malm\u00f6\u2013Travem\u00fcnde route.<\/p>\n

Celebrating 25 years of maritime link<\/strong><\/p>\n

16 December 2021 marks 25 years of Finnlines\u2019 maritime connection between Naantali and Kapellsk\u00e4r. With the introduction of Europalink, Finnlines consolidates its position as the main maritime service provider between Finland and Sweden.<\/p>\n

Finnlines specialises in freight transport and the main task is to ensure the smooth flow of goods. Finnlines\u2019 extensive line network provides Finland\u2019s export industry with a regular and reliable way into the European market, while ensuring the transport of goods from abroad to Finland that are important for security of supply. Finnlines continues to provide sustainable and environmentally friendly services on market terms without public support.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt should be remembered that Finland is dependent on sea traffic, its fluency and competitiveness. We must be able to offer sufficient capacity for our customers whose business depends on reliable sea transportation services. We provide cost-efficient and high frequency liner services to our customers with the lowest CO2 emissions per transported cargo unit. The ongoing EUR 500 million newbuilding programme will ensure that we are well positioned to pave the way for the new green path of the shipping industry,\u201d says Emanuele Grimaldi<\/strong>, CEO of Finnlines.<\/p>\n
