Finnlines is holding a steady course amid choppy waters
Emanuele GrimaldiCEO
The world has entered a period of turbulence: geopolitical tensions; the pandemic; environmental challenges; market upheavals.
CONSEQUENCES VARY FROM REGION TO REGION, but we have already seen shocks in the energy markets; the automotive industry; hotels and tourism; as well as the financial sector and global trade.
Finland is by no means shielded from this turbulence. Finland is almost an island geo-graphically speaking and therefore requires a steady flow of cargo to and from Europe carried by ship operators resilient enough to withstand crises.
RELIABLE TRANSPORT LINKS IN TURBULENT TIMES ARE MORE VITAL THAN EVER in order to meet demand for food, products and services. Solid marine carriers should be considered part of Finland’s heritage and seen as strate-gic assets. Other good maritime services for instance, such as those specialised in tourism or duty free shopping, are not ‘strategic’ to anywhere near the same extent.
Finnlines has since 1947 played a vital role supporting both national exporters and importers. Finnlines alone transports more than a third of the one million trucks that move annually across the main sea-bridges to Estonia, Sweden and Germany. Moreover, the Company’s fleet fly the blue-and-white flag and company management is Finnish, but almost all supplies and services are sourced in Finland.
WE ARE FINLAND’S PREMIER SEAFREIGHT OPERATOR and also a large transporter of passengers. We survived the oil crisis of the 1970s, the 2001 Twin Towers shock, and the 2008 financial crisis. We will survive the pandemic too.
The resilience we enjoy is based not just on hard work but also on sacrifice. Profits have in largest part not be distributed to shareholders but rather re-invested in the Company. >

Future of shippingFind trends shaping the industry on page 8
WE HAVE DELIBERATELY CHOSEN THE PATH OF DIVERSIFICATION, which means that we carry all types of cargo on versatile ships: from paper to cars, trucks and trailers. And passengers. We have avoided restricting ourselves to just one sector, even when this has seemed the more financially attractive option. Ves-sel diversification increases reliability because it works as a type of insurance; declines in one business sector can be offset be more sturdy performances in others.
FINNLINES IS PART OF THE GRIMALDI GROUP, and this too acts as a backstop; one part of the Group can seek help from the mother company, and also other subsidiaries, in times of distress.
DIVERSIFICATION GIVES OUR CUSTOMERS A MORE STABLE, DEPENDABLE SERVICE, but it has come at a cost, namely re-duced margins. Large, flexible tonnage is considerably more expensive than simple tonnage designed for just one trade. These vessels also require more specialist knowledge to operate. We have at times had to turn down what would have been lucrative business in order to maintain the right cargo balance.
DUE TO THE PANDEMIC, FINNLINES HAS SEEN A DECLINE IN REVENUES. Passenger
numbers have been hit particularly hard, dropping by more than 50% between January and September, and by around 70% on routes from Finland to Sweden.
BUT DESPITE DIFFICULTIES, WE HAVE NOT LAID UP VESSELS, unlike some of our competitors. Our services have been maintained even if this has meant sailing part-empty. In October, we even gave back to cargo clients about EUR 5.3 million in reduced bunker surcharges, which is around a tenth of our monthly turnover and more than the double of the money we saved due to lower oil prices.
This helped stabilizing Finnish trans-portation companies’ income state-ments, and helped the national trans-port system stability in general, together with Finnish market competitivity, which is an asset for the Country. Finland, and Finnish citizens, have benefited from this. Finnlines ships continued to bring in the spare parts, the equipment, the
industrial products and the e-commerce packages that Finnish citizens require.
THESE EFFORTS WERE HOWEVER NOT REWARDED when state subsidies were handed out to the shipping sector in recent months. Despite Finnlines being specialised in the most strategic niche of transportation (goods and passengers), other shipping companies specialised in cruising and duty free shopping, not usu-ally considered as strategic, took all the public subsidies. We would like to ask what has been found strategical in those latter passenger leisure businesses, especially in times of social distancing.
This discrimination has the potential to be doubly harmful. Not only are taxpayers keeping alive services that are currently not required due to excess capacity, but taxpayer money is creating market distortions that have unfairly depressed rates for honest players such as Finnlines.
READERS CAN HOWEVER REST ASSURED: however bad the turbulence gets, Finnlines will keep serving its native country with the steadfast loyalty that the position of national carrier demands of us.
We survived the oil crisis of the 1970s,
the 2001 Twin Towers shock, and the 2008 financial crisis. We will survive the pandemic too.

Goods crossing the Baltic Sea About 90% of Finland’s foreign trade is shipped by sea. Vessels transport our export products out into the world and bring us everything we find in stores. As one of the biggest sea freight operators on the Baltic Sea, Finnlines ensures that there is enough sea freight capacity and cargo transports are functioning. >>>
Daily morning arrivals in Helsinki and early evening departures from Helsinki have established Finnlines’ connection as the most important maritime bridge for truck and trailer traffic in Finnish import and export.
The Baltic Sea is one of the world’s busiest seas, represent-ing around 15% of the world’s cargo transports. It is estimated that there are approximately 300,000 port visits per year to the Baltic Sea ports. There are about 2,000 vessels in the Baltic Sea at any given moment and more than half of these vessels are cargo ships.*
The Finnish foreign trade is nearly completely dependent on sea connec-tions. The most important routes in Finnish foreign trade are to the German ports on the Baltic Sea and the North
Sea, and to Sweden. The major forest, chemical, metal, and mechanical indus-tries dominate the Finnish export scene. Finnish import is more versatile but from a consumer’s point of view the most obvious import goods are groceries and other daily commodities. As a whole, Finnish sea transport volumes are about 100 million tons per year.*
The vessels operating in the Baltic Sea ensure that the cargo passes and the flow of supplies continues to run smoothly.
Finnlines is vital for security of supplyFinnlines plays an essential role in safeguarding the security of supplies for Finland and its vessels and routes ensure there is enough cargo capacity and no disruptions in cargo deliveries. Schedules are planned to serve trade and industry – for instance, the sailing from Travemünde to Finland is at night as it is important that the fresh produce arrive quickly in Finnish grocery stores. The less visible for consumers, but no less important role Finnlines has in trans-porting industrial cargo such as timber, steel and machine.
“Our traffic has operated normally throughout this exceptional time. From the Finland’s security of supply’s point of view, we offer vital sea transports be-tween Finland and Germany and Finland and Sweden under market-based terms. In addition to this, our regular services
ensure that products reach all important customers within the Baltic, the North Sea and Bay of Biscay,” says Staffan Herlin, Head of Marketing, Sales and Customer Service, Finnlines.
Finnlines handles over a third of the million trucks travelling by sea between Finland and Estonia, Finland and Sweden, and Finland and Germany. Finnlines is the leading freight operator on the maritime bridge between Finland and Sweden with its 40% market share. The same goes with Finland and Ger-many – punctual daily morning arrivals in Helsinki and early evening departures from Helsinki have established this con-nection as the most important maritime bridge for truck and trailer traffic in Finn-ish import and export.
Cost-efficient transportsFinnlines’ frequent transports enable customers to maintain optimal storage management, which results in savings in time and costs. In temperature regulated transports this is especially vital – logis-tics must work perfectly in order for the product to reach its destination in prime condition.
“A functioning logistics chain requires that the wheels keep on turning. On routes that are vital for security of supply we offer up to two departures per day – according to the needs of the custom-ers,” says Herlin.
Finnlines’ vessels are designed and scheduled to carry cargo. “This is why they are supreme when it comes to cargo transports. For instance, when MS Finnswan arrives in Kapellskär early in the morning, the trucks are a long way out of the port before the rivalling ves-sels even reach it,” Herlin continues.
Profitable companies develop their operations constantly, but this is especially highlighted in uncertain times. Finnlines’ ongoing investments in the fleet and in sustainable develop-ment ensure that the cost-efficient sea transports offered by the Company are also among those with the lowest carbon dioxide emissions per every transported unit. “The new vessels which are cur-rently under construction will increase the efficiency of our fleet even further,” Herlin recounts.

Maritime bridges connecting the Nordic countries to Continental Europe
Majority of the Swedish trade passes through the shipping industry. Along with other lines Finnlines offers direct link from Sweden to Finland and to Germany.
As in Finland, also in Sweden ship-ping and sea transportation play a vital role in foreign trade. Over 90% of Swedish trade passes by sea. Sweden has one of the longest coast-lines in Europe. In this sense, Sweden can almost be considered as an island. Annually more than 130 million tons of goods and over 30 million people run through Swedish ports.*
Finnlines provides three daily depar-tures from Sweden to Germany as well as morning and evening departures from Sweden to Finland. The maritime con-nection between the ports of Malmö and Travemünde along with Kapellskär and Naantali support future economic growth and wealth in Southern and Eastern Sweden, Denmark and South-West Finland.
Service tailor-made for trucksA substantial amount of all rolling freight transported by ship between Sweden and Finland is carried on the Finnlines’ Kapellskär–Långnäs–Naantali route.
The service is operated with two ro-pax vessels, the Star class vessel MS Finnswan and the Clipper class vessel MS Finnfellow. MS Finnswan carries more than 4,200 lane metres, 554 pas-
sengers and 100 passenger cars; MS Finnfellow has an overall intake capacity of 2,918 lane metres of rolling cargo and 440 passengers.
These vessels serve the freight indus-try by providing a daily capacity of more than 650 cargo units, which would be sufficient to handle all of the truck and trailer traffic used for the crossing be-tween Sweden and Finland. This means that, in that area the route is, by far, the most important maritime bridge for the security of supply.
“With close to 30 departures each week, Finnlines is the leading freight carrier with a market share of over 40% on this maritime bridge. The cur-rent Star class ro-pax vessel can take
554 passengers while also carrying a significant amount of cargo – up to about 100 passenger cars and over 200 trucks per voyage equalling the capacity of four cruise-passenger car ferries sailing daily between Turku and Stockholm”, says Antonio Raimo, Line Manager, Finnlines.
High frequency trafficFinnlines route between Malmö, Sweden and Travemünde, Germany offers 19 weekly departures in both directions. The average intake capacity is equal to more than 1,100 cargo units per day.
“Our high frequency, cargo capacity and fast nine-hour voyage ensure the kind of efficiency required by profes-sional cargo transportation and any intermodal solutions. With our tonnage we can serve our customers efficiently”, says Raimo.
The service is operated with three ro-pax vessels, MS Europalink, MS Finnpartner and MS Finntrader. The Star class ro-pax vessel MS Europalink has a capacity of 4,215 lane metres and 554 passengers, while the other two smaller vessels have a capacity of 3,050 lane metres and 280 passengers.
Strategic choiceThe ports of Kapellskär and Naantali are a strategic choice for Finnlines. Both locations are optimal and most suitable for freight traffic. The sea voyage is time- efficient for the logistic industry, on average close to nine hours. “With our timetables we are able to offer a tailor-made freight transport service between Sweden and Finland to fully meet the needs of professional cargo traffic cus-tomers,” says Raimo.
The road network to the ports is also excellent: heavy trucks do not need to drive through congested city centres as the truck can reach the highway straight from the harbour, which also helps reducing the pollution in the residential areas of the city. Another advantage is the nearly year-round open waterways: an absolute necessity when the traf-fic is heavy and the ships must sail on time, round the clock, regardless of the weather or season.
Same features also for the port of Malmö, an important doorway to the whole of Sweden, Denmark and Norway: the surrounding road network is nowadays absolutely perfect and well developed along with Finnlines’ Malmö–Travemünde service, providing customers with the most competitive and efficient route for all freight industry commuting between Scandinavia and Continental Europe.
Transporting all sizes of cargoAll vessels on both routes are suitable for carrying different categories of special cargoes. Finnlines develops its process-es and is capable of providing challeng-ing transport services for any type of cargo (project cargo, high & heavy, IMDG etc.).
“We provide efficient, high-quality sea transport services with our modern fleet. Unlike other shipping companies, we are fully devoted to the freight industry and therefore we do provide all our custom-ers with the possibility to transport any type of special cargoes. We make a huge difference on the market, and this is very appreciated by the customers”, says Raimo.
Finnlines’ schedules are tailored to the needs of freight customers.

Future of shippingShipping has always been evolving and like any other sector of the global economy, also shipping is entering a new era. What are the trends that are shaping the future of shipping? Find out what’s driving this transition.
The 4th Propulsion Revolution
There is still room for vessels to improve their ef-ficiency. It is evident that the reduction target cannot be achieved with fossil fuels. Liquefied natural gas, LNG, has been a viable alternative for some ships on the decarbonization pathway. Hydrogen, ammonia and bio-methanol have been identified as promising fuels in the long run.
However, transition means that all players in the
maritime sector, such as engine manufacturers, fuel suppliers and policymakers, face challenges. A shipowner needs to be confident that the chosen fuel type is globally available and bunkering infra-structure exists. Safety and fuel-storage systems on vessels are also a concern for some fuels. Fi-nally, a robust regulatory framework must in place.
Throughout centuries, water has been the cheap-est and often the only way to transport goods over long distances. It has also been the safest way to transport goods. New inventions have rendered old ones obsolete while ships have increased in speed and size. In the 19th century steam propulsion re-placed sail and shipping changed over from coal to oil in the 20th century. Today, the industry is on the brink of a fourth propulsion revolution to reach the IMO target of halving greenhouse gas emissions
by 2050 regardless of trade growth. Moreover, the ultimate goal is full decarbonization.
Energy efficiency has been given the top priority for many years as shipowners and crew have fo-cused on optimal speed, route, trim, and schedules. Ship designers and builders have made efforts to optimise hull lines. Onboard ships, from the engine room up to the bridge, high-efficiency choices have been made to achieve the lowest specific fuel con-sumption possible.
The STCW Convention and Code (International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping) ensures an up-to-date and internationally harmonised rules for the training of seafarers. The first STCW Convention entered into force in 1984 and it has been amended sever-al times as vessels and equipment have evolved. Once again, the Convention is being reviewed to
identify gaps and loopholes.More complex digital and sustainable technolo-
gies require new competencies for seafarers who must upgrade their skills to be able to use and in-teract with high-tech applications. Still, in spite of digital transformation, human intelligence cannot be replaced. If and when technology fails, experi-ence and skills to fix things is of great value.
Traditionally shipping has relied on manual data collection and written documentation. Paper charts have been used for routeing and data has been entered into logbooks and other record books manually. Companies have relied on look-back information instead of predictive analysis. Many industry players have relied on traditional ways of managing paperwork and of making phone calls.
Alarm, control and monitoring systems on the bridge and in the engine room have become increasingly automatic and integrated. ‘Big Data’ and ECDIS* began the digital transformation. Big Data does not only refer to large volumes of data, but it is also time-sensitive data on weather, traffic delays, and unexpected repairs, to name a few, which can help to forecast or avoid problems, like unplanned stoppages.
Today, the volume of data available is daunting, but it is useless unless it is turned into meaningful
information that can be applied. With cloud-based technologies, real-time data is collected on site, onboard the ship, but data is accessible ashore and creates opportunities, like condition-based maintenance of equipment and tracking of vessels and cargo units. It is not likely that machinery will fail in service when it runs in optimum condition and problems can be identified and rectified at an early stage.
Digitalisation is about change in human behaviour when people are moving into the role of supervisors. Maritime work, including engine maintenance, cargo handling and navigation techniques, will ride on the digital wave. However, many security, safety and regulatory challenges must be addressed as digitalisation exposes systems for external threats, like cyber security attacks. All this leads to …

NEWBUILDING PROGRAMMEFinnlines’ EUR 500 million newbuilding programme will further increase Finnlines’ energy efficiency and emission reduction as well as it will provide perfect tools to respond to future customer needs. In addition to the three ro-ro vessels, Finnlines has ordered two Superstar eco-efficient ro-pax vessels, which are scheduled to start operating in 2023.
