Stena Line has signed a 50-year agreement with the Municipality of Frederikshavn to operate the ferry port in Frederikshavn Harbor. The deal, the company said, secures its presence in the North Jutland port city for decades.
Under the agreement, Stena Line will assume full responsibility for the operations of the RoPax ferry terminal.
The new agreement expands Stena Line’s operating rights within the ferry port and establishes the company as the negotiating partner for other external customers requiring port services.
In the coming years, the company’s terminals for routes to Denmark and Germany will be relocated from central Gothenburg to the Arendal Port. The 50-year commitment in Frederikshavn mirrors this forward-looking investment.
“Our relocation to Arendal is a major step towards the future of passenger travel and freight operations. A long-term agreement in Frederikshavn is an equally important cornerstone for that journey. I am very pleased that the Municipality of Frederikshavn shares our long-term vision and that together we are creating the conditions for continued trade, tourism, and resilience,” says Niclas Mårtensson, CEO of Stena Line.
Stena Line currently operates the Gothenburg-Frederikshavn route with two vessels, Stena Danica and Stena Jutlandica, offering three to four daily departures in each direction.
Gothenburg-headquartered Stena Line is a family-owned ferry company, founded in 1962, with approximately 40 vessels and 20 routes in Northern Europe and the Mediterranean Sea.
