History
2013 2015 2019
On 4 Jan 2013 NLC Ferry/Wasaline started the traffic between Vasa and Umeå with m/s Wasa Express. Kvarken Ports, a joint port company commenced the operation 1 Jan 2015. Kvarken Link Ab was founded. Kvarken Link Oy was founded. All companies are owned 50-50 by the City of Vaasa and Umeå Kommunföretag AB (Municipality)
Bothnian Corridor
- Build the most environmentally friendly ship
- n earth that is reliable and fit for purpose,
minimum 50 % reduction of CO2
- Use predictable maintenance with a long-term
- perational agreement to reduce and increase
predictability of OPEX and reduce risks for unexpected surprises and increase operational reliability
- Future ready to allow for upgrades and
sustainability improvements Establish a long-term sustainable transport solution between Finland and Sweden. The alternative to an 800 km road transport is the 80 km sea transport route.
Wasaline is the northernmost year-round ferry line in the world. We have ice winter every year. Generally, ice winters are classified as follows:
- 1. Mild ice winter
Ice from the beginning of February to the end of March
- 2. Normal ice winter
Ice from January to approximately the 20th of April
- 3. Severe ice winter
Ice from mid-December to the beginning of May
- Environmental footprint
- Passenger flow and experience
- Power generation
- Navigation
- Automation
- Optimized operations & performance
