Trade between nations and continents is increasing and cargo owners are making increasingly exacting demands on an effective chain of distribution. Shipping is by far the most effective tool for handling the majority of these goods flows. It is in this expansive and highly competitive transport sector that Swedish Orient Line operates in its capacity as a niche shipping company.Based on a long tradition since 1911, Swedish Orient Line operates liner shipping between the Nordic countries and the Mediterranean and between the Nordic countries and southern and West Africa, respectively. It also carries out international project consignments.
