About Kvarken Link
Kvarken Link Oy is a Finnish company that commissioned a newbuild passenger ferry for a sea link between Vaasa, Finland and Umeå, Sweden. The vessel is designed for around 800 passengers and 1,500 lane metres of trucks and cars, with dual-fuel machinery running on liquefied natural gas and battery and the ability to use biogas produced in Vaasa. RMC in Rauma, Finland is building the vessel.
The company's stated aim is a long-term sea transport solution as an alternative to an 800 km road route, with an 80 km sea crossing, and a target of at least a 50% reduction in CO2. Kvarken Link is owned by Umeå Kommunföretag AB and the city of Vaasa, which also act as guarantors of its financing. Its subsidiary NLC Ferry Ab Oy operates under the Wasaline brand.
Kvarken Link Oy was founded in 2019 by the same owners to secure funding and run the newbuild project; its predecessor Kvarken Link Ab was founded in 2015. The company is headquartered in Vaasa.
Product: Passenger and freight ferry service between Vaasa, Finland and Umeå, Sweden, using a newbuild dual-fuel vessel.
