The terminal is considered to be an essential aspect of Stena Line’s expansion plans in the Baltic Sea that includes the two new ferries being deployed and 30% additional freight capacity on the Nynäshamn-Ventspils route by next year.
Stena Line operates 18 ferry routes in Europe, of which three are across the Baltic Sea.
Recently, Stena Line announced the expansion on the Nynäshamn-Ventspils route with two large modern roll-on / roll-off passenger (RoPax) vessels to be deployed by next year, adding freight and passenger capacity.
The current move to Stockholm Norvik Port is expected to improve its position.
