The JV between Greencarrier and Wallenius has acquired the 1999-built ro-ro Miramar Express, to be re-named Lakeway Express ahead of her launch on the Gdynia-Södertälje service this April.

The 1,624 lane metres of capacity freighter will initially offer three weekly departures.

Lakeway Link intends to incorporate the Swedish Port of Västerås into the service by 2026 following the reconstruction of the Södertälje locks.

"I am 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," underscored Fredrik Hermansson, CEO of Lakeway Link.
