Finnlines deploys two new ro-pax vessels

#NordicNews on ship traffic and Finland

Finnlines invests in passenger traffic with two new ro-pax ships on the Finland - Sweden route

Not one but two new Superstar ro-pax vessels will be operated by Finnlines from autumn 2023. The new means of transport are part of the shipping company's €500 million investment program, which focuses on modern ro-pax and ro-ro boats.

More capacity and convenience

The renewal of the vessels on the Sweden - Åland - Finland route will not only increase passenger and cargo capacity, but also guest comfort. “The new generation Superstar ro-pax vessels will combine modern travel comfort with the premium freight services for which Finnlines is renowned. We intend to offer the most convenient and easiest way to travel by sea between Sweden, the Åland Islands and mainland Finland. The unique Baltic Sea archipelago is present throughout the travel experience and our passengers will be able to take in the maritime atmosphere with all their senses,” says Marco Palmu, Head of Passenger Services at Finnlines.
High-quality restaurants, a sauna and spa area, business and lounge facilities, shopping and other services can be found on the new ships, as well as stylish interior design.

Focus on green values

The ro-pax and ro-ro vessels are all equipped with state-of-the-art sustainable solutions. Three new ro-ro hybrid vessels were already commissioned in the summer of 2022. The first ro-pax vessel will sail the Kapellskär-Långnäs-Naantali route in autumn 2023.
Sustainability is not only an issue in the construction, but also in the interior design. Energy is saved, for example, through intelligent LED lighting management and an intelligent air control system. Recycled materials were used for the furniture. Menus, itineraries and price lists are replaced by digital self-service screens and smartphone apps, reducing paper waste to a minimum.
