Stena to close Sweden/Finland route

[ October 17, 2023   //   ]

Stena Line is to discontinue its route between Nynäshamn in Sweden and Hanko in Finland from 20 October. The service, which was launched in early 2022 in response to heavy market demand has failed to develop as expected due to the geopolitical situation, said the Swedish-based line. The two vessels on the route will be redeployed in the charter market or within the Stena fleet.

Stena also said that the Finnish government’s decision to grant an exemption from the European Union Emissions Trading System (ETS) from 1 January 2024 for vessels trading via Åland would also create an uneven commercial landscape, it added.
