Eckerö Line's m/s Finlandia is at the shipyard until 8 February 2024. Large scale structural changes that reduce fuel consumption and emissions will be made during docking. M/s Finlandia returns to service on 8 February and departures at 15:15 from Helsinki to Tallinn. While m/s Finlandia is at the dock, our cargo ship m/s Finbo Cargo, which also transports motor vehicles, operates as usual from Vuosaari harbour in Helsinki to Muuga in Tallinn.

During the docking, m/s Finlandia will also undergo renovations to increase passenger comfort. The service lines in Bistro & Café Satama are renewed for a smoother experience. The food selection is also facing changes: in the future, customers will be able to, for example, put together their own breakfast dish and salad or choose the soup of the day. In addition, e.g. the carpets in the corridors and public areas onboard are renewed, and customers get to use new luggage storage lockers.

A lot of our own staff will work on board during the docking. Approximately 18-30 people take care of, among other things, the emptying of the premises required for renovations, cleaning, inventories and, if necessary, act as fire guards. The technical personnel is responsible for the work on the machine and system side.
