Starting from late June, the Grimaldi Group company Finnlines will be expanding its North Sea network by including the Polish Port of Gdynia in the weekly rotation. This development further strengthens Finnlines’ route network and provides enhanced shipping options for customers moving cargo between key European regions.
Finnlines’ North Sea service offers a cost-effective and practical intermodal alternative to road transport for goods moving between Poland and Belgium, France, the UK, Spain and Finland. Additionally, it connects Poland directly to the Grimaldi Group’s global network, offering links to the Far East, the Middle East, the Mediterranean, West Africa, South America and North America.
“Our enhanced service features the deployment of three Finneco-class vessels. These state-of-the-art hybrid ro-ro ships are tailored to accommodate a wide array of cargo types including ro-ro, breakbulk and containers. They are particularly well-suited for special and oversized shipments, such as extra-wide or heavy units transported on weather decks or mafi-trailers.”

Finnlines Line Manager
To support the service expansion, Finnlines is also introducing brand new 80-foot mafis with embedded rails, specifically designed to facilitate the transportation of non-standard cargo – such as trains and wagons – with greater efficiency and flexibility.
Low-carbon sea transportation
Finnlines continues to uphold its leadership in sustainable shipping. Its state-of-the-art vessels offer some of the most environmentally friendly transport solutions on the market, with up to 90% CO2 reduction available on demand with its recently launched Green Lane solution.
“The new Gdynia link reflects our continued commitment to sustainability, operational innovation and reliable logistics services across Europe. We’re constantly improving our services to better meet customer needs and actively seeking new growth opportunities. With our modern vessels and the Green Lane solution, we also provide one of the most environmentally responsible transport alternatives available.”
