Result before interest and taxes (EBIT) was EUR 79.4 (70.6) million. The result of 2024 contains gains on sale of five vessels, which are included in other income from operations. Hence, the operative EBIT year-on-year improvement was EUR 25.6 million. The Finnlines Group’s result in 2025 amounted to EUR 67.2 (44.6) million.

The cargo volumes transported during January–December 2025 totalled around 788,000 (782,000) cargo units, 71,000 (85,000) cars (excluding passengers’ cars) and 1,113,000 (1,234,000) tonnes of non-unitised freight. In addition, more than one million (936,000) private passengers and professional drivers travelled with us.

While we continue to develop our services, capacity and route network, the business environment in Europe is undergoing structural change. As regulations tighten and sustainability requirements accelerate, Finnlines’ role as a provider of critical maritime logistics infrastructure will become even more pronounced. We will ensure that trade and industrial transport flows remain reliable even under changing conditions.

During the year, the focus was on fleet optimisation, route profitability and responsible growth. Finnlines continued to strengthen its competitiveness in the Baltic Sea and North Sea markets by developing its route network and adding a weekly departure from Gdynia, Poland to the North Sea & Biscay line. This enhances our services and offers customers in Poland a direct link to the Grimaldi Group’s global network.

The IMO’s decision last October to postpone consideration of the Net-Zero Framework adds uncertainty to shipping’s green transition. Nevertheless, Finnlines remains firmly committed to achieving its own environmental targets.

Finnlines has responded to changes in the business environment through long-term and determined investments which have directly improved the energy efficiency of its fleet and reduced emissions. The fleet’s carbon intensity decreased by 14 per cent when compared with 2024. Compared with 2008, which is used as the baseline year in shipping, the company has already achieved the 40 per cent reduction target set for 2030 ahead of schedule. At the same time, we are preparing for the next phase of technological development, as Finnlines has ordered three new RoPax vessels capable of operating on methanol, strengthening our ability to offer low-emission transport solutions in the coming years. These vessels will enter service in 2028–2029.

With the support of the Grimaldi Group, Finnlines is well positioned to continue investing in responsible shipping services that support economic growth, environmental responsibility and security of supply in the Baltic Sea region. Together with our employees, customers and stakeholders, we are building a sustainable future for maritime transport and passenger travel.”
