Viking Line

Viking Line Group is a prominent passenger and cargo carrier operating on the northern Baltic Sea and in the Gulf of Finland, founded in 1959. The company utilizes seven vessels to provide essential transport services, though operations were significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to the temporary removal of vessels from key routes like Helsinki to Stockholm. Despite these challenges, Viking Line maintained a substantial market share, holding approximately 28.1% in its service area for passenger and cargo transport. The total passenger count for the reporting period was 170,362, a decrease from the previous year, while cargo volume remained stable at 31,755 cargo units, representing a 17.0% share of the cargo market. Notably, the market share for passenger cars saw an increase to 29.6%. The introduction of Digital Green Certificates by the European Commission offers a framework for controlled easing of travel restrictions, potentially boosting local tourism and demand as vaccination programs progress.
