Description

Swedish shipping company Stena Lines will recruit 100 employees in Karlskrona in autumn 2010. The company will spend SEK 1 billion (€100 million) on its business expansion covering a number of lines across Scandinavia and Europe. Passenger ferries operating between Gothenburg and Kiel are going to be moved to the Karlskrona-Gdynia line. As a result, 100 employees in command, deck and service will be recruited in Karlskrona this autumn. The passenger capacity will double as a result of the expansion.
