Following a change in ownership, shipping company Wallenius SOL is changing its name to Wallenius Link. The name change takes effect on 12 November.
In April 2026, Wallenius Lines entered into an agreement to acquire SOL Group’s shares in Wallenius SOL, thereby becoming the sole owner of the company. The new ownership structure provides long-term stability and continuity, while creating a clear foundation for the company’s continued development.
‘The new name, Wallenius Link, reflects something at the heart of our business and the role we play,’ says Erik Nøklebye, CEO, Wallenius Lines. ‘We’ve always believed in creating links between companies, capabilities and people. Because no industry moves on its own. A producer depends on reaching its markets. A factory on materials arriving when they are needed. A society on infrastructure that works, every day. And behind all that are the links that enable goods to move and businesses to grow.’

No changes to operations or oganisation
The change of name will not affect operations, strategic direction or offering.
Wallenius Link will remain under the leadership of the same management team and organisation.
The new brand identity will be introduced gradually across the business, in line with operational schedules and local circumstances. This includes, for example, the rebranding of vessels in connection with planned maintenance. As a result, the existing and new identities will coexist for some time.
Wallenius Link is a Northern European shipping and logistics company providing scheduled liner services across the Baltic region, North West Europe and the United Kingdom. The company is both vessel owner and operator, and operates an ice-class fleet providing RoRo, container and breakbulk capacity.
