Viking Line maintenance work may cause delays to Nordic shipments during week 37

Simultaneous maintenance work on Viking Line’s vessels Viking Glory and Viking Grace will significantly reduce freight capacity on the Turku-Stockholm route between 7 and 10 September 2026. The situation may cause delays to DHL Freight’s Nordic shipments. 

Due to maintenance work, Viking Line’s vessels Viking Glory and Viking Grace will be out of service on the Turku-Stockholm route as follows:

• Viking Glory will be taken out of service on Monday, 7 September 2026, at 07:35 after arriving in Turku. The vessel will return to service on Thursday, 10 September 2026, departing Turku at 08:45.
• Viking Grace will be taken out of service on Monday, 7 September 2026, at 19:50 after arriving in Turku. The vessel will return to service on Thursday, 10 September 2026, departing Turku at 20:55.

The simultaneous dry docking of both vessels will significantly reduce the freight capacity available for Nordic traffic between 7 and 10 September 2026. Shipments will be rerouted to alternative ferry operators whenever possible, but the situation may cause delays to DHL Freight shipments utilizing the Turku-Stockholm route during week 37. 

We apologize for any inconvenience and possible delays caused by this situation.
