5 key benefits of the Poland–Sweden RoRo shipping route for heavy cargo shippers
As global supply chains face mounting pressure—from driver shortages to congested roads—freight forwarders and logistics managers are increasingly looking for smarter, more efficient transport alternatives. For companies moving trailers or high and heavy cargo between Poland and Sweden, Lakeway Link’s roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) service between Gdynia and Södertälje is emerging as a game-changing solution.
Shifting cargo from road and rail to sea: Relieving Europe’s congested networks
Europe’s highways and railways are under growing pressure from increasing freight volumes. According to the latest Eurostat data, road transport accounted for 25.3% of total EU freight transport performance in 2023 (measured in tonne-kilometres), up from 24.9% in 2022. This trend reflects a growing dependence on roads – a shift that brings with it congestion, emissions, and capacity constraints.
Lakeway Links energy surcharge
Europe’s Emission Trading System (EU ETS) started in the maritime sector on 1st January 2024. The introduction of this compliance-based carbon cost means that operators (including Lakeway Link) need to buy emission rights to cover their CO2 emissions each year. Lakeway Link route between Poland and Sweden have been regulated under this EU ETS from the beginning of this year.
Efficient transport of high and heavy cargo with RoRo
When transporting high and heavy cargo, companies often face numerous challenges, from handling complex machinery to moving large industrial components. In dynamic markets like Sweden and Poland, the demand for reliable and flexible logistics solutions is on the rise. Enter Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) vessels – a transformative solution in project logistics. RoRo transport offers a safe, efficient, and cost-effective way to move oversized and heavy cargo, making it the preferred choice for industries such as construction and energy.
