From October, Swedish shipping company WALLENIUS SOL will begin a twice-weekly paper service to Kiel’s Ostuferhafen.
The operation will use the freight ferries TAVASTLAND and TUNDRALAND, carrying paper on specialised cassettes. Built in Finland in 2006 and 2007, the vessels can transport up to 10,000 tonnes of paper per voyage.
The new service strengthens Kiel’s position as a logistics hub for forest products and adds another regular RoRo freight connection to the port.
