Finneco II, the second of three ro-ro vessels in the Eco class was delivered at the China Merchants Jinling Shipyard in China on 30 May. The vessel will enter Finnlines’ Biscay line, where it will join the sister vessel, Finneco I.

The new vessels come as part of Maersk’s ongoing fleet renewal program and will replace tonnage of more than 150,000 TEU which is reaching end-of-life.

Finnlines Newbuilding Programme has progressed as planned, on schedule and as budgeted. All three new ultra-green ro-ro vessels ordered are in the production phase and the Nanjing Jinling shipyard has laid the keel of Finnlines’ second hybrid ro-ro vessel on 12 May 2021.

The first new Finnlines’ hybrid ro-ro vessel was launched at the Nanjing Jinling Shipyard on 26 April 2021. The vessel will start sailing under the Finnish flag at the turn of the year. This is highly significant in terms of Finnish sea personnel and Finland’s security of supply.
