Finferries renews its visual identity – white vessels and a blue-toned logo reflect purity, modernity, and sustainable development
Finferries, Suomen Lauttaliikenne Oy, has decided to renew its visual identity as part of the company’s broad modernization and transition towards emission-free water transport. In the renewal, the company’s vessels will receive a new white color scheme, and the main color of the logo will become blue-light blue – a shade that symbolizes clean water, clear air, and a sustainable future.
“The white hull color and blue-light blue logo communicate clarity, openness, and responsibility. The blue shade represents clean water and clear air – precisely the environment we aim for with the emission-free operation of our vessels,” says Finferries’ CEO Håkan Fagerström.
The visual renewal will gradually appear on routes and in communication during 2026. The new look supports Finferries’ strategic goal to reduce operational emissions by 95 percent by 2035, as well as the company’s investment in electrification and sustainable water transport.
“Finferries is known for the yellow ferries of the archipelago – they have been part of the Finnish landscape for decades. However, now it is time to update the external appearance to match future goals and technological development,” Fagerström continues.
The renewed visual line has been designed in cooperation with the communications and marketing partner, LM Someco Oy. The look is based on the idea of a balance between nature and technology: blue represents air and water, white represents purity – elements that guide Finferries’ operations and development.

Low water level in lakes - 21.10.2025 10:46
In the Vuoksi water system area, lake water levels are exceptionally low!
We urge all drivers to exercise great caution when driving onto or off the cable ferry, as the height difference between the road and the water surface creates an angle between the cable ferry and the ramp, as well as between the ramp and the road. This angle must be taken into account especially with vehicles that have low ground clearance or long front/rear overhangs.

Suomen Lauttaliikenne Oy has signed an agreement with the ELY Centre concerning ferry traffic in the Finnish Lakeland region
On 6 October 2025, Suomen Lauttaliikenne Oy signed an agreement with the ELY Centre of Southwest Finland concerning the procurement titled “Road Ferry Traffic Service Lakeland Finland 2026–2047.”
The company has developed an ecological traffic concept for 12 ferry routes in Lakeland Finland. As a result, the transport capacity on these routes will increase to 90 tonnes, removing weight restrictions for heavy traffic.
The ferry fleet in Lakeland Finland will be renewed and electrified, reducing traffic emissions in the area by over 90% compared to current levels. The first upgraded ferries will begin operating on the Lamposaari, Kietävälä, Rongonsalmi, and Tappuvirta routes at the end of 2026. According to the new agreement, all ferry sites will operate with upgraded equipment by summer 2028.
In constructing 14 new ferries, existing vessel hulls will be reused, supporting the company’s ecological values. Reusing old ferry hulls avoids the CO₂ emissions associated with producing new steel. The CO₂ savings compared to building a new ferry are equivalent to approximately 2.5 years of emissions from diesel-powered ferries in Lakeland Finland.
“This 20-year agreement covering 12 ferry sites in Lakeland Finland is a significant step toward carbon-neutral road ferry traffic. Ferry services will be produced more efficiently, sustainably, and cost-effectively. Within the transport sector, road ferry traffic is leading the way toward carbon neutrality while improving service for road users. Our long-term goal is to achieve carbon-neutral road ferry traffic by 2035, which we promote through our procurements and agreements. The transport objective is to provide flexible and cost-effective service delivery that takes into account regional mobility and transport needs,” says Tapani Jaakkola, Road Engineer at the ELY Centre for Southwest Finland
“We are very pleased to introduce environmentally friendly equipment to Lakeland Finland, supporting our strategic vision to be a pioneer in emission-free water transport. This is a major step in the ecological development of road ferry traffic, where we also consider biodiversity alongside emission reduction,” says Håkan Fagerström, CEO of Finferries.
