The Name of The New Wasaline Ferry Will Be AURORA BOTNIA

The name for the new RoPax ferry for Wasaline, which is being built at Rauma Marine Constructions, will be
called AURORA BOTNIA. The ferry will be delivered in May 2021.

Northern Lights or Polar Lights in Latin are called Aurora borealis and this is a phenomenon we can admire
on our latitudes. Hence the name Aurora. Botnia, tells us where we are”, says Bertil Hammarstedt, CEO of
Kvarken Link.

Kvarken Link organized a naming contest in which almost 2,500 names were submitted.

In addition to the environmental aspect Wasaline gets pure cost saving in operational cost and maintenance.
