3 000-kilometre inter­mo­dal trans­port from south to north Euro­pe now available with Ste­na Line

We are exci­ted to announ­ce the exten­si­on of our rou­te net­work with inter­mo­dal rou­tes span­ning appro­xi­m­ate­ly 3 000 kilo­me­t­res for effi­ci­ent good trans­por­ta­ti­on across Euro­pe. This expan­si­on aims to enhan­ce tran­sit from the sou­thern and sou­thwes­tern Euro­pean regi­ons to the nor­t­hern­most points in Swe­den, spe­ci­fi­cal­ly Umeå via Eskilstuna.

Com­men­cing from 23 May 2024, we enhan­ce our ser­vice offe­rings by inte­gra­ting addi­tio­nal rou­tes into our exis­ting Gothenburg-Kiel and Trelleborg-Rostock cor­ri­dors. This expan­si­on holds par­ti­cu­lar signi­fi­can­ce for the nor­t­hern Swe­dish regi­ons of Väs­ter­bot­ten and Norr­bot­ten, as well as the cen­tral Mälard­a­len region.

Fre­d­rik Johans­son, Group Mana­ger Inter­mo­dal and Ship­ping Logi­stics empha­si­zes the dual bene­fits of this initiative

“Cus­to­mers gain access to relia­ble long-distance ship­ping ser­vices through a sin­gle part­ner. Moreo­ver, the expan­si­on of our nor­t­hern rou­te net­work faci­li­ta­tes fur­ther trans­por­ta­ti­on links into Väs­ter­bot­ten and Norr­bot­ten counties.”

Expan­si­on through Europe

Through stra­te­gic part­ner­ships, we ensu­re seam­less con­nec­ti­vi­ty for sou­thern Euro­pean desti­na­ti­ons via our two pri­ma­ry inter­mo­dal corridors:

Trelleborg-Rostock Cor­ri­dor

• Direct link to cities like Vero­na (Ita­ly), Bettem­bourg (Luxem­bourg)
• Tran­sit through Bettem­bourg (Luxem­bourg) to Lyon, and Le Bou­lou (France).

Gothenburg-Kiel Cor­ri­dor

• Dedi­ca­ted rou­te to Vero­na (Ita­ly).
• Gate­way traf­fic via Ham­burg to Lud­wigs­ha­fen, Munich and Duis­burg (Ger­ma­ny).

The most exten­si­ve rou­te within this net­work stret­ches from Le Bou­lou in France to Umeå in Swe­den, cove­ring an impres­si­ve distance of appro­xi­m­ate­ly 3,200 kilometers.
