Stena Line moves to Stockholm Norvik Port
Ferry company Stena Line moves its Nynäshamn ferry terminal to the newly built Stockholm Norvik Port. On 9 November the terminal was officially opened with the first arrival of the vessel Stena Flavia at 7 a.m. The new ferry terminal is an important part of Stena Lines expansion plans in the Baltic Sea that includes the deployment of two new modern ferries and 30 % additional freight capacity on the Nynäshamn-Ventspils route in 2021.
Stena line is one of the world’s leading ferry companies with 18 ferry routes in Europe. Three of them are operating across the Baltic Sea. Stena Line recently announced an expansion on the Nynäshamn-Ventspils route with the deployment of two large modern RoPax-vessels during 2021, adding both freight and passenger capacity. The move to Stockholm Norvik Port strengthen the position even further.
“The move to the new ferry terminal is an important part of our expansion in the Baltic Sea and enables us to continue to grow together with our customers. In January we expect the first of the two new vessels to start operating, adding another 30 % freight capacity to the route", says Johan Edelman, Trade Director Baltic Sea North.
About the route Nynäshamn-Ventspils:
Since Stena Line acquired the ferry route between Nynäshamn in Sweden and Ventspils in Latvia in 2012 it has more than doubled its operations from one vessel and 10 departures per week, to the current fixed timetable, which has two vessels and 24 departures per week.
The crossing time of 8.5 hours is the fastest sea-connection between Sweden and the Baltic countries. The route is a popular choice for both transport and tourism and is a vital supply line to both the manufacturing and construction industry in Sweden.
