Stena Line To Close Halmstad–Grenaa Route

By | 2026 Newsletter week 06 | No Comments

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.
