Stena Line will discontinue its ferry connection between Halmstad (Sweden) and Grenaa (Denmark).
STENA NAUTICA will continue operating the route until 30 April 2026.
Key points:
- The decision follows long-term difficulties in achieving profitability on the route.
- Stena Line will focus investments on routes with clearer demand, supporting both freight and passenger traffic more efficiently.
- Main factors behind the closure include:
- Strong competition from fixed bridge links in Denmark
- A strained cost environment
- Challenging market conditions driven by global uncertainty and weak economic climate
- Stena Line has served Halmstad–Grenaa since 2020, after relocating from Varberg.
- Agreements will be reached with Hallands Hamnar and Grenå Port to terminate the cooperation.
