On 1 June, Hansa Seaways will be merged into GreenCarrier Finland to form a company strong both in air and sea transport, explains Staffan Kjellberg, Managing Director, GreenCarrier International:

“GreenCarrier Finland was created in February 2009 by the renaming of FCS Logistics, a company we acquired in June 2008 and which was already strong in the airfreight business. As its name suggests, Hansa Seaways is predominantly active in the shipping sector with a broad range of logistics services.  Together they give us a solid foundation both in the air and on the ocean.”

Niklas Bärlund, currently Managing Director of Hansa Seaways, will become Managing Director of GreenCarrier Finland on 1 June.

Hansa Seaways Oy was formed in 1986 as Hansa Shipping and Transport following the merger of the liner agency Loadmarine with the nvocc Cargo Link. Today it offers a wide range of logistical services for export and import cargoes from/to Finland and Russia.  As a liner agency, the company represents OPDR, a leading container operator linking Northern Europe with Iberia, North Africa and the Mediterranean.

GreenCarrier International is part of the Swedish Björk.Eklund Group.
