Finnlines opened a new route from Turku to Rostock

Finnlines Plc opened a new route from Turku to Rostock in southwestern Baltic Sea, Germany, on August 25, 2024. With this new route, new opportunities will arise for Finnish companies’ imports and exports.

Finnlines is one of the leading freight operators in the Baltic Sea, North Sea, and Bay of Biscay, and a passenger transport operator in the Baltic Sea.

The schedule of M/S Finnpulp, which operates the Turku–Travemünde–Rostock line, is well-suited for export and import shipments between Finland and Germany. In Travemünde, the vessel will load at 13:00 on Sunday, and in Rostock at 23:00, after which it will depart for Finland, arriving in Turku at 9:00 on Tuesday. The return journey to Germany will start on Friday at 20:00. The vessel will arrive in Travemünde at 7:00 on Sunday and in Rostock at 17:00.

The first departure under the new route operated from Germany on Sunday, August 25.

“The route from Turku to two important ports in northern Germany is a boost for port of Turku’s freight traffic. The new route from Turku to Rostock enables the rerouting of new volumes. The departure times from both Turku and the ports of Rostock and Travemünde have been designed to be the most optimal for traffic,” says Antti Pekanheimo, Chief Operating Officer of Port of Turku.
