Preparations for the new ferry have begun

Fotomontage som visar den nya färjeterminalen och passagerargången i Umeå hamn

Work has now begun on the new ferry terminal and ferry pier. The background is that traffic across the Kvarken, between Umeå and Vaasa, plays a major role in the transport link (Nordic Logistic Corridor) that exists between Sweden, on to Norway, and Finland, further out in Europe and Asia. Wasaline's new Ro-pax ferry, Aurora Botnia, secures this strategic link. At the same time it requires an adapted pier, quay and ferry terminal to be able to dock in Umeå harbor in the spring of 2021.

The pier is crowded. At the same time as the pier is strengthened, the remaining part of the old passenger passage needs to be demolished. To be able to carry out these two works in parallel, the passenger aisle is taken down with a crane standing on a barge. It is an exciting job that requires experience and skill as the sea is rarely calm.
