Connecting Fi<br />
to the world<br />
IT is fair to say that the history of Finland is also a history of the sea. It could<br />
hardly be otherwise given Finland’s geography: its coastal position at the<br />
far North of the European continent, and its distance from the great markets<br />
to the south. Once the economy began to modernise, and industrialise, on<br />
a significant scale in the middle of the 18th century, the die was cast and<br />
shipping was called upon to respond.<br />
And respond it did. Once a bottleneck for a vibrant Finnish economy, the<br />
shipping sector, with <strong>Finnlines</strong> in the vanguard, now provides that vital connection<br />
between Finland and the rest of the world that supplies the country’s<br />
life-blood: trade. What is more, it does so with exactly the combination<br />
of regularity, reliability and frequency that is demanded of it by the trading<br />
community and wider society.<br />
<strong>Finnlines</strong> continues to invest in those vital connections. Four of the six<br />
vessels ordered from Chinese yard Jinling have now been delivered and deployed.<br />
They are busy carrying forest products, that mainstay of the Finnish<br />
export economy, to southern markets and returning home with all manner of<br />
goods for Finnish manufacturers and consumers, perhaps most prominently<br />
finished cars. Our ability to access the far-flung network of our parent company,<br />
the <strong>Grimaldi</strong> <strong>Group</strong>, has also allowed us to throw Finland’s net into<br />
ever-more-distant waters.
nland<br />
These ships are made for the new world<br />
opening up before us. They combine size<br />
with flexibility, with capacity for 3,320 lm of<br />
rolling cargo, providing space for more than<br />
200 trailers. Built to ice-class 1A, they also<br />
have hoistable car decks capable of holding<br />
around 900 cars and Lo-Lo capacity for 400<br />
TEU. Not only that, they are built to demanding<br />
standards of efficiency and environmental<br />
sustainability.<br />
But the new <strong>Finnlines</strong> is not only about<br />
trade. Over the last three years, we have<br />
been working to transform the company,<br />
making it leaner and more efficient while<br />
simultaneously enhancing the quality and<br />
breadth of our service. One area of particular<br />
focus is our passenger business, which had<br />
been sadly neglected for a number of years.<br />
It is neglected no more.<br />
As you will read in this issue of <strong>Finnlines</strong><br />
News, we have made a significant effort to<br />
upgrade and expand our passenger services,<br />
investing to modernise cabins and expand<br />
and upgrade the public areas, adding new<br />
facilities such as gyms and children’s play<br />
areas, and adding new calls that we believe<br />
will capture the public’s imagination.<br />
At a time when air travel is becoming<br />
increasingly cumbersome, time-consuming<br />
and high-stress, customer surveys suggest<br />
that we are already beginning to convince<br />
tourists and other travellers that the sea option<br />
provides a more than viable alternative:<br />
a relaxing beginning and end to an exciting<br />
holiday combined with competitive pricing,<br />
the flexibility that comes with taking your<br />
own vehicle, and the freedom to design your<br />
own trip from a wide variety of alternatives.<br />
We believe strongly in the future of our passenger<br />
business and the numbers are beginning<br />
to bear us out, with private passenger<br />
volumes volumes more than doubling in the<br />
last five years.<br />
In the final analysis, of course, our approach<br />
to both the cargo business and the<br />
passenger operation rests on the same fundamentals:<br />
a commitment to levels of quality,<br />
efficiency and service that meet, or even<br />
exceed, our customers’ expectations. Behind<br />
that commitment lies a more fundamental<br />
desire: to help connect Finland to the world.<br />

FOR MASTERS OF THEIR OWN DESTINIES<br />
Stressless travelling on<br />
well-fitted vessels<br />
ONE OF THE GREAT SUCCESS STORIES AT FINNLINES OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS HAS BEEN<br />
THE RISE AND RISE OF OUR PASSENGER BUSINESS. INDEED, ANNUAL PRIVATE PASSENGER<br />
VOLUMES HAVE MORE THAN DOUBLED OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS TO AROUND 300,000.
In part, the steady increase in the number of<br />
private passengers taking to the sea in our<br />
ships is the result of determined efforts by<br />
the company to improve the passenger experience.<br />
This was long overdue. <strong>Finnlines</strong> has<br />
an illustrious history of passenger service,<br />
after all, and looking back over the last 50<br />
years, to 1962 when it all began, a number<br />
of iconic vessels stand out from the crowd:<br />
Finnjet, for instance, which was among the<br />
fastest and best-appointed ferries of its day;<br />
and Finnstar, a genuine cruise ship. Unfortunately,<br />
we somehow lost sight of this branch<br />
of the business along the way as we focused<br />
on expanding our cargo networks.<br />
Facilities, services and route networks<br />
under scrutiny<br />
As we looked to reorganise and re-energise<br />
the company’s overall business three years<br />
ago, however, it quickly became obvious that<br />
by ignoring the passenger business, we were<br />
missing out on a valuable revenue stream<br />
and a valuable enhancer of the <strong>Finnlines</strong><br />
brand. Here was a promising opportunity that<br />
we must seize for a second time.<br />
Since then, we have invested heavily in<br />
improving the passenger facilities on board<br />
our ships. We have remodelled cabins while<br />
upgrading and expanding bars, restaurants<br />
and shopping areas, and added saunas and<br />
gyms as well as play areas for the kids, on<br />
eight of our 15 ro-pax ships. At the same<br />
time, we have expanded our route network<br />
to offer an array of attractive destinations<br />
around the Baltic.<br />
Our customers have responded enthusiastically<br />
to these improvements, and we are<br />
scoring highly on surveys of passenger satisfaction.<br />
But it would be a little disingenuous<br />
to suggest that this success is all our own<br />
doing. We have also been lucky enough to<br />
get our timing just right, with the renaissance<br />
of our passenger business coinciding<br />
with a new interest in seaborne travel among<br />
European tourists and travellers.<br />
stress-Free travelling<br />
Flying these days is more an ordeal than<br />
the exciting, even glamorous, experience it<br />
once was. In a difficult period when we prize<br />
our free time more than ever, overcrowded<br />
airports located far from major cities, sometimes<br />
requiring an additional flight and a<br />
time-consuming connection to complete a<br />
journey, hardly make for a relaxing beginning<br />
or end to a much-needed break. The same<br />
could be said for the cumbersome security<br />
precautions at Europe’s airports, while evertighter<br />
baggage restrictions add to the cost<br />
of flying and the aggravation.<br />
By contrast, ferry travel is inherently more<br />
relaxing. It also chimes with the trend to-<br />

wards self-created holidays, with tourists<br />
planning and booking their great adventure<br />
online and exploiting the range and diversity<br />
of shipping networks to craft exciting itineraries<br />
featuring great cities interspersed<br />
with relaxing periods on-board. With a car<br />
on board too, the modern traveller really is<br />
the master of his or her own destiny, able to<br />
strike out into the unknown or access a prebooked<br />
holiday home – a Finnish lakeside<br />

The costs are more manageable too – after<br />
all, driving your own car means there is no<br />
need to rent one – while our ferries are versatile<br />
enough to accommodate just about<br />
every need. <strong>Finnlines</strong>’ ships are perfectly<br />
suited to caravans and mobile homes, for instance:<br />
indeed, these intrepid travellers are<br />
perhaps our most loyal and frequent clients.<br />
Motor bikers, too, find our ferries to be the<br />
perfect link between their northern home and<br />
the great roads of Europe: at the first sign of<br />

annual migration towards the sun.<br />
The atmosphere on board our ro-pax ships<br />
only enhances the holiday atmosphere. Our<br />
vessels, which have capacity for anything<br />
from 120 to 550 passengers, are more small<br />
village than big city, and the services is correspondingly<br />
warm and personal. Add to this<br />
a range of destinations that open up exciting<br />
itineraries – from Germany and Poland to<br />
Sweden and Russia, not to mention Finland,<br />
of course – and all the ingredients are there<br />
for <strong>Finnlines</strong>’ passenger business to continue<br />
growing far into the future.

Finland’s lifeline<br />
THE SEA HAS ALWAYS BEEN FINLAND’S LIFELINE, THE COUNTRY’S GEO-<br />
GRAPHICAL POSITION FAR FROM EUROPE’S MAJOR PRODUCING AND CON-<br />
SUMING MARKETS MEANING THAT EFFICIENT SEA TRANSPORT WAS A<br />
PRE-REQUISITE NOT JUST FOR ECONOMIC PROSPERITY BUT FOR FINLAND’S<br />
STRONG MARKET POSITION IN THE WORLD.<br />
Establishing those maritime connections did<br />
not come easily. In the 1870s, after two decades<br />
of relentless growth that had left Finland<br />
with a dynamic commercial and industrial<br />
base, a thriving private banking sector,<br />
and a forest products industry ready to take<br />
on the world, an under-developed maritime<br />
transport sector was a major brake on the<br />
country’s trading ambitions.
It was a weakness that was widely acknowledged<br />
– “The Finnish forest products<br />
industry needs regular, reliable, high-frequency<br />
sea transportation,” said one observer<br />
at the time – and one that thankfully has<br />
MS Finnbreeze discharging cars in the port of Ust-Luga after its arrival from<br />
Wallhamn<br />
since been remedied. Necessity and<br />
opportunity spurred investment, and<br />
soon Finnish products were moving<br />
southwards on Finnish ships, which<br />
returned with the consumer goods and<br />
food supplies required by the Finnish<br />
market.<br />
a mainstay For Finnish economy<br />
Today, that essential national lifeline<br />
is serviced with regularity, reliabiity<br />
and frequency by the sparkling new<br />
vessels of <strong>Finnlines</strong>. Forest products<br />
are still a mainstay of the Finnish<br />
economy, and <strong>Finnlines</strong> is a major<br />
shipper of such goods to such hungry<br />
hungry markets as Germany, BeNeLux,<br />
England and Spain. When our ships return,<br />
they come bearing gifts, often in the shape<br />
of finished vehicles for the Finnish and Russian<br />
markets.<br />
And make no mistake, these ships are<br />
state-of-the-art; multi-purpose vessels capable<br />
of carrying everything from lorries and<br />
trailers to containers to breakbulk cargo, and<br />
with the capacity and flexibility required in<br />
today’s fast-moving market. This new generation<br />
of ships, built in China to demanding<br />
standards in terms of economic efficiency<br />
and environmental sustainability, are now<br />
coming into service. Four have been delivered,<br />
with two more to come.<br />
Among the ships already hard at work is<br />
MS Finnbreeze, shown here (photo above)<br />
discharging cars in the port of Ust-Luga after<br />
its arrival from Wallhamn. The newly delivered<br />
cars will then be prepared for inland<br />
transportation to their final destination in<br />
Russia, while Finnbreeze will set sail for Kotka,<br />
where a cargo of forest products awaits<br />
it bound for Zeebrugge and Bilbao. Maritime<br />
transport is still Finland’s lifeline, just as<br />
<strong>Finnlines</strong> remains committed to connecting<br />
its homeland with the world.<br />
