Discover the Finntide: Ratings & Maritime News

On November 23, 2017, the vessel 'Finntide' departed from the Remontowa Yard in Gdansk, where it underwent a significant lengthening process of 30 meters as part of Finnlines Pic's ambitious €70 million initiative aimed at enhancing energy efficiency and reducing emissions. This modification is set to significantly improve fuel efficiency, leading to reduced energy consumption for each transport unit. The 'Finntide' is scheduled to resume operations on the Uusikaupunki-Turku-Travemünde route on November 26, marking a pivotal moment in Finnlines' commitment to sustainable maritime practices.

The successful completion of a 30-meter lengthening of the FINNTIDE has been achieved by Remontowa Group, a shipyard located in Gdansk. This modification enhances the vessel's capacity, bringing it close to 4,200 lane meters for freight transport. With this upgrade now finalized, FINNTIDE is all set to be returned to its owner, Finnlines.

A somber development occurred on August 27, 2014, when authorities discovered a body at the entrance of the Kallo lock in Antwerp. The deceased is believed to be a missing crew member from the vessel 'Finntide,' identified as a Filipino electrician. This individual fell overboard on the afternoon of August 25 while the ship was preparing to depart the lock. Despite extensive search efforts involving divers and a police helicopter, the search had initially yielded no results.
