The Swedish Competition Authority approves cooperation between Gotlandsbolaget and Viking Line
Viking Line and Gotlandsbolaget announced on 9 August 2023 that they are forming a joint company with the task of developing and offering cruises with BIRKA STOCKHOLM between Stockholm-Mariehamn and Stockholm-Mariehamn-Visby.
The completion of this business transaction and the start-up of the new joint venture are contingent on the approval of the Swedish Competition Authority. The Swedish Competition Authority has today 23 August 2023 announced that they are deciding to leave the concentration without action, which means that the deal is proceeding according to plan.
"We are of course very happy that we received such a quick notice from the Swedish Competition Authority. This means that the new business can set full speed to launch the new cruise product with traffic starting in spring 2024," says Håkan Johansson, CEO of Gotlandsbolaget.
