About TT-Line
TT-Line offers the densest route network for direct services to southern Sweden. With nine ships and up to 24 departures daily, TT-Line connects the German Baltic Sea ports of Travemünde and Rostock, the Polish port of Świnoujście, and the Lithuanian port city of Klaipėda with Trelleborg and Karlshann in southern Sweden. The shipping company is the market leader in passenger and freight transport between Germany and Sweden. The connection between the two countries has existed since 1962.
TT-Line ships are operated in accordance with the IMO (International Maritime Organization) requirements introduced in 2015 to further reduce ship emissions. Five of the nine ferries run on environmentally friendly marine fuel with a maximum sulfur content of 0.1 percent. In addition, TT-Line has installed flue gas desulfurization systems on the ferries Tinker Bell, Akka, Nils Dacke, and Marco Polo. This not only significantly reduces sulfur emissions but also lowers the particle content in exhaust gases. Streamlined hull designs and fuel-efficient speed management further improve the CO₂ footprint. TT-Line’s technology and environmental management have already received multiple awards.
With its Green Ships Nils Holgersson and Peter Pan, TT-Line is the first shipping company and pioneer in the southern Baltic Sea to use LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) as fuel, enabling significant emission reductions. Our Green Ships can operate on both LNG and Bio-LNG, making us a pioneer in sustainable shipping. Bio-LNG is a carbon-neutral, renewable fuel produced from waste such as organic household waste, sewage sludge, manure, and agricultural residues. By adding Bio-LNG to the booking, we offer our customers the option of CO₂-free travel.
In December 2025 TT-Line has signed a contract to build a new Green RoPax ferry 2.0, approximately 240 meters long, with capacity for around 1,000 passengers. The vessel will feature advanced LNG-hybrid propulsion, enhanced passenger comfort, improved cabins, and spacious outdoor areas. Building on the success of LNG-powered ferries Nils Holgersson and Peter Pan, this next-generation ship will further improve operational and environmental efficiency. The project continues TT-Line’s partnership with China Merchants Jinling Shipyard and reinforces the company’s commitment to sustainable mobility and zero-emission technologies, including bio-LNG and shore-power-fed battery systems.
