Starting from week 26, Finnlines will expand its own North Sea network and include the Polish port of Gdynia in the weekly rotation. This strengthens its own route network and offers customers who transport cargo between important European regions improved transport options. Blasco Majorana, Line Manager at Finnlines:
“Our expanded service includes the deployment of three ships from the Finneco class. These state-of-the-art hybrid Ro-Ro vessels are suitable for a variety of cargo types, including Ro-Ro cargo, general cargo, containers, and automotive
