Stena Line is elaborating a new business concept focusing on Northern Baltic Sea region development, with two main routes to Sweden and Germany, told Stena Line representative BC.

Last depature Liepaja-Nynashamn will be on Monday, December 5 23:59 with arrival at the port of Nynashamn 6 December at. 11:00 local time.


Ventspils will be positioned as the gateway to Scandinavia, thus reinforcing the route Ventspils-Nynäshamn. The ferry Stena Flavia will be completely redirected to this route, while previously it also operated between Ventspils and Travemünde. The travel time on the route Ventspils-Nynäshamn will be considerably reduced and the number of ferry departures will be increased by 30 %. Starting from 3 January 2017, instead of the usual 18 weekly crossings, 24 crossings per week will be available on this route. The ferry crossing from Ventspils to Travemünde will be redirected to Liepaja.


In turn, Liepaja will be the main port connecting Latvia to the western part of Central Europe. An additional ferry will be introduced to this route to Germany increasing the number of crossings by 25 %. Starting from 3 January 2017, this route will provide eight crossings per week. The ferry crossing from Liepaja to Nynäshamn will be transferred to Ventspils.
