At a time of geopolitical uncertainty, with increased demands for preparedness, well-functioning transport and logistics systems play a crucial role. Within Stena, ferry lines, cargo and tanker vessels all contribute to maintaining trade flows, energy supply and mobility, functions that are central to making everyday life run smoothly for people, societies and companies around the world.

Stena Line is an important part of Europe’s infrastructure and interconnects markets and important hubs. New ferry lines and long-term port agreements, with investments in terminals, have strengthened the presence in both the Baltic Sea and the Irish Sea in recent years.

Stena Bulk is a global player that transports crude oil, refined petroleum products, methanol and vegetable oils – important inputs for industry, transport and energy production. Three of Stena Bulk’s vessels were registered under the Swedish flag in 2025. A milestone in Swedish shipping that meets the total defence’s need for maritime capacity and competence. With its Swedish-flagged vessels, Stena Bulk contributes to strengthening both national preparedness and Sweden’s role as a shipping nation.

” Operating under the Swedish flag is made possible through close cooperation with Swedish authorities. It is an important milestone that strengthens Sweden’s maritime presence.”
Erik Hånell, MD, Stena Bulk
