Following the previously announced change in ownership, shipping company Wallenius SOL is now taking the next natural step. From 12 November 2026 the company will operate under the name Wallenius Link.

 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. 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,” says Erik Nøklebye, CEO, Wallenius Lines.

WILL NOT AFFECT OPERATIONS
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 organization. 

“We will continue to put our customers and partnerships across the value chain at the centre of our business. Creating the links that support critical industrial infrastructure in Northern Europe is part of our legacy, and it will remain central to our future, ” says Elvir Dzanic, CEO, Wallenius Link.

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.
