Rederiaktiebolaget Eckerö acquires Rederi Ab Fjärdvägen from Rederi Ab Lillgaard

23 Jul 2025 08:00 CEST

Rederiaktiebolaget Eckerö has agreed with Rederi Ab Lillgaard to acquire Rederi
Ab Fjärdvägen. Rederi Ab Fjärdvägen operates the route Långnäs-Nådendal with M/S
Fjärdvägen. The deal includes the company with all personnel and assets,
including M/S Fjärdvägen.

• "The Långnäs-Nådendal route fits perfectly into our strategy of providing
'floating bridges' on routes where sea transport is the natural and most
sustainable solution. A connection between Åland and mainland Finland has in
many ways been the missing link in our customer offering, a link that we can now
add to our transport network," says Eckerö Group's CEO Björn Blomqvist.

Rederi Ab Lillgaard has operated the route since 1994, and since 2014 through
its subsidiary Rederi Ab Fjärdvägen.

• "The commercial conditions have steadily deteriorated in recent years, and the
company's board has found it very challenging to continue operations as an
independent company. We have concluded that the business must be part of a
larger context. We are pleased to have found a stable Åland-based buyer for the
business," says Rederi Ab Lillgaard's Chairman of the Board, Trygve Eriksson.

The ownership of the company and the business are planned to be transferred to
the new owner on August 18.
