Stena Line expands the sailing schedule in Nynäshamn-Ventspils

journal Bussines KLASS № 11 2014 , 16.10.2014.Print version
Stena Line's route between Nynäshamn and Ventspils has had a very positive development this year, increasing freight volumes by 23 percent. The demand continues to increase, so the sailing schedule is expanded with the help of M/S Ask and M/S Urd operating Travemünde-Liepaja.

Today Scottish Viking and Stena Flavia are operating Nynäshamn-Ventspils. With M/S Ask and M/S Urd timetable will be extended from 6 to 8 sailings a week, and apart from Ventspils also Liepaja will be operated once a week.


- Of course it is very pleasing that the route has had such good development. Now we are focusing on and can increase traffic with additional sailings at attractive departure times, with the help of our two ships normally operating Germany-Latvia. It will be a natural complement where we can adjust our operations to market demand, says Tony Michaelsen, Route Director for Region Baltics.


Stena Line believes in a continued positive development for the route.

- This is an strategically important route for us that we think will continue to grow. Our goal is that the route eventually will be served by two identical sister ships with fully developed facilities for both freight and passengers. It has proven to be our success strategy on other routes, said Tony Michaelsen.

The change takes effect October 19.
