Swedish shipping company Lakeway Link announces the acquisition of the RoRo vessel Miramar Express. The vessel, which will be renamed M/S Lakeway Express, is set to deploy Lakeway Link's new service connecting Poland and Sweden.

Lakeway Link's services are scheduled to start in April, initially offering three weekly departures between Gdynia and Södertälje. The company intends to expand its services to include additional traffic to Västerås by 2026 following the reconstruction of the Södertälje locks.

The M/S Lakeway Express, constructed in 1999, features an overall length of 153.38 meters, a gross tonnage of 10,471 MT, and a carrying capacity of 1624 lane meters or approximately 110 trailers. 

"I'm extremely happy to announce that our anticipated service between Poland and Sweden is now launching in line with previous notifications. It is with high ambitions that we introduce this new service to the market, not only enabling efficient transportation but also reducing environmental impact by utilizing waterways", says Fredrik Hermansson, CEO of Lakeway Link.

By introducing a regular line service with fixed departures, featuring traditional RoRo services for trailers and efficient handling of shipments, Lakeway Link offers a robust alternative or complement to road and rail transportation.

"Lakeway Link is ready to streamline and enhance the transport experience between Sweden and Poland with a reliable and environmentally competitive solution for our customers", says Fredrik Hermansson.
