WALLENIUS SOL and BB Logistics have signed a long-term agreement to provide warehouse services in Kemi, effective from 1st January 2025. The contract includes a 12,000 m² warehouse in the Port of Kemi, which will be operated by BB Logistics. This collaboration will enable WALLENIUS SOL to offer comprehensive warehousing solutions for its customers on the weekly liner service to Kemi.

“Through this agreement, we are securing essential warehousing capacity in Kemi, which is vital for meeting the increasing demand in the region. This capacity will support both ongoing projects and the steady flow of regular cargo in the years to come,” says Jonas Wåhlin, Chief Commercial Officer at WALLENIUS SOL.

The Port of Kemi is well connected within the WALLENIUS SOL network, linking major cargo hubs such as Travemünde, Zeebrugge, and Antwerp. Cargo arriving in containers, trailers, cassettes, or SECUs will be efficiently unloaded into the warehouse for storage and further distribution across northern Finland, Sweden and Norway.

« We take great pride in serving the logistical needs of northern Finland and Sweden through the Port of Kemi. Our strong partnership with WALLENIUS SOL enables us to swiftly address the challenges of the logistics sector,” says Kim Lindström, Managing Director of BB Logistics.

On the export side, the warehouse will serve as a key hub for the consolidation and storage of goods, ensuring efficient and smooth handling of outbound shipments.

Jonas Wåhlin adds, « The region is rapidly developing, driven by major industrial investments, particularly in green technologies. Our Enabler vessels provide a sustainable shipping solution that supports these projects and the expected growth in exports. »
