"Every year, to and from Sweden, 27.6 million passengers are traveling with passenger ferries and well over 100 000 single tours are conducted to 24 different ports in nine countries.

The future development of ferry shipping is necessary for Sweden, and we are now calling for exciting analyses of how the future might look like, both commercially and in relation to sustainability issues."
