Shipping company Finnlines launched its new route between Malm\u00f6 and \u015awinouj\u015bcie in April earlier this year. The line has now been successfully operated for six months and is expected to generate further volume growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
P\u00e4ivi Laine, Finland's Ambassador to Poland, visited Finnlines' freight and passenger terminal in \u015awinouj\u015bcie, Poland, on 27 September 2024. The hosts of the visit were Finnlines Deputy CEO Thomas Doepel, Finnlines Poland's Managing Director Rafa\u0142 Kwapisz and Finnlines Marine Manager Anders Hamming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In response to growing market demand<\/strong> The new route has been developed in response to customer needs. Traffic between Sweden and Poland has increased in recent years, which is in line with Poland's economic growth, which is one of the strongest in Europe. Swedish companies also have a strong presence in Poland, which is evident on the well-trafficked sea route between Sweden and Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201d"We see great potential in this line. The Southern Baltic is a highly competitive region, but Finnlines is increasingly establishing itself as a leading player in terms of tonnage and service. The geopolitical situation and the subsequent trade freeze with Russia have affected the market. Despite this, there are clear signs that the market is recovering," says Finnlines Vice President and Deputy CEO Thomas Doepel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The line's first six months of operation have shown satisfactory volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201dOur initiative has been well received by our customers. Freight customers have appreciated the new connection and the prospects for passenger growth are promising,\u201d says Doepel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201dWe are honored to have welcomed Finnish Ambassador P\u00e4ivi Laine, whose support underlines our commitment to the \u015awinouj\u015bcie area and its local development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finnlines' route between Sweden and Poland marks the shipping company's second introduction to the region, after almost 30 years of successful operations on the route between Finland and Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The route between Sweden and Poland connects the West Pomerania region in Poland with Malm\u00f6, Sweden's third largest city. Malm\u00f6 offers convenient connections to other parts of Sweden as well as to Denmark. Finnlines has been operating from Malm\u00f6 since 2002 and, in addition to the new Poland route, offers daily scheduled services to Travem\u00fcnde in Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the press release.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rederiet Finnlines lanserade sin nya rutt mellan Malm\u00f6 och \u015awinouj\u015bcie i april tidigare i \u00e5r.
