The forestry industries in Sweden and Finland combined employ about 280,000 people, and together with other raw materialbased industries, they are major employers in sparsely populated areas. Apart from being an important part of the Nordic economy, the forestry industry is also vital in developing bio economy products. When fully developed, WALLENIUS SOL’s service will offer traffic with at least two departures per week, to and from each port – a more sustainable and economic way of shipping. The service will initially traffic the Gulf of Bothnia with five RoRo vessels. However, within a few years, the majority will be replaced with a new, unique kind of green RoRo vessel.
