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.
