WALLENIUS SOL expands LoLo service

From January 2025, WALLENIUS SOL will launch an expanded LoLo service, adding Tornio, Finland, Piteå, Sweden, and Rotterdam, Netherlands to its network.

To enhance shipping connectivity in the Bay of Bothnia, WALLENIUS SOL is introducing a new and expanded Lift-on/Lift-off (LoLo) service in January 2025. The new service will complement WALLENIUS SOL’s existing ConRo operations, with two new destinations in the Bay of Bothnia: Tornio, Finland and Piteå, Sweden.

This expansion also includes the addition of Rotterdam, Netherlands, providing customers with enhanced access to deep-sea shipping routes alongside the existing Antwerp service.
The container vessel, Peyton Lynn C, with a capacity of 860 TEU, has been chartered to operate the service between Kokkola, Oulu, Tornio, Piteå, Rotterdam and Antwerp with a fixed bi-weekly rotation.

“With this new capacity, we will continue to grow at existing ports while also expanding our offering in the Bay of Bothnia, says Jonas Wåhlin, CCO, WALLENIUS SOL. The expansion will serve both existing and new customers within the short-sea and feeder segment.”

WALLENIUS SOL´s expanded network including Tornio, Piteå and Rotterdam improves connectivity in the Bay of Bothnia and strengthens access to deep-sea routes via Rotterdam alongside Antwerp.

Full schedule details and information on terminals served in Rotterdam and Antwerp will be communicated shortly. The service is planned to start in week 1 2025 with loading in Rotterdam and Antwerp.
