The Star class ro-pax vessels Finnswan and Europalink will jointly start  on the Naantali–Långnäs–Kapellskär route.

The ro-pax vessels Finnswan and Europalink have started on the Naantali–Långnäs–Kapellskär route under the Finnish flag on Thursday 27 January. The successful Finnlines' route is one of the vital maritime links for Finland's security of supply.

The cargo capacity will increase by 1,200 lane meters and passenger capacity by over 100 up to 554. In addition to a significant increase in capacity, the refurbishment of public areas will further increase travel comfort and onboard services as well as a stronger commitment to the freight industry to meet their needs at any time of the year.

Europalink have joined the sister vessel Finnswan which has been operating on the route since 2018. The entry of Europalink means that both morning and evening departures offer the same capacity and a uniform service concept and facilities for all customers.

Finnfellow will move from Naantali to the Malmö–Travemünde route.
