Finnish flag to be hoisted above the stern of XPRS – "a major event"
Viking Line’s position as Finland's biggest employer in maritime transport will be enhanced when Viking XPRS, which sails between Helsinki and Tallinn, is today added to Finland's Register of Ships. "The reflagging is enormously important for Finnish maritime transport," says Kenneth Bondas, president of the Finnish Seafarers' Union.The Finnish flag will be hoisted above the stern of Viking XPRS in a solemn ceremony when the vessel is entered into the Finnish Register of Ships. The Finnish national anthem - "Our Land" - will be played during the reflagging ceremony at Skatudden in Helsinki.
