WALLENIUS SOL is an innovative shipping company with its sights set on a sustainable future.


By combining innovation, high ambitions and consideration for the environment with great experience in the industry, we want to be an enabler for the Swedish and Finnish basic industry in the Gulf of Bothnia. With regular scheduled liner traffic between northern Scandinavia, the Continent and the United Kingdom, we can offer RoRo traffic with a flexible tonnage, regardless of cargo.

Flexible shipping

WALLENIUS SOL offers a liner service with an ever-growing network of ports. With frequent and regular departures, we solve freight transport in a safe and efficient way between important ports in northern Finland and Sweden, Germany, the Benelux region and the United Kingdom.

Our fleet handles trailers, containers and project cargo and we also specialize in high and heavy cargo that need to be lifted on board. The vessels are loaded southbound with products from for instance the paper industry and the steel industry. Northbound transports include intermediate goods for the industry and other types of cargo. The cargo is loaded on cassettes, as well as SECU and containers.

Roadmap for sustainable shipping WALLENIUS SOL

Truly sustainable logistics

Our goal is a fleet with no harmful environmental impact and our ambition goes beyond current laws, regulations and other requirements. In 2022 the worlds largest ice rated ConRo vessels was delivered to WALLENIUS SOL. We call them the Enablers. They will emit 63 per cent less greenhouse gases compared to the older vessels in our fleet. Our next generation of vessels (estimated to be built in 2027) is estimated to be 20 per cent more energy efficient than the multi-fuel vessels delivered in 2022. This is only the beginning of our journey.

Stronger together

A modern shipping company based on almost 200 years of experience in shipping operations. WALLENIUS SOL was established in 2019 when Wallenius Lines and the Swedish Orient Line formed a joint shipping company with the aim of strengthening the infrastructure at the Gulf of Bothnia and the Baltic Sea.
