Now the focus is on Asia 2021 – Covid-19 stops Expedition 2020

Updated: 22 June 2020

Discussions and negotiations with stakeholders in both Sweden, Asia and other countries have been difficult to carry out due to Covid-19. The discussions will be progressively intensified when personal contacts and meetings become possible once again.

The maintenance work on the Swedish Ship Götheborg will however continue, although at a slower pace as this year's sailing is now cancelled. To manage the negative financial consequences of not being able to sail, no revenue, SOIC Ship Management AB must also take measures such as short-term permits.

The Swedish Ship is a very attractive and exciting destination in the Gothenburg harbour for visitors. Preparations are therefore initiated to step up the visitor activity onboard the ship as soon as the situation has stabilized, and the authorities ease restrictions on large crowds of people. The possibility of carrying out events on board will also be resumed.

Götheborg of Sweden is the world’s largest ocean-going wooden sailing ship and a unique replica of an 18th century Swedish East India Company ship that sank outside of Gothenburg in 1745. Today, the ship operates with paying deckhands who sail on board to sail along between ports and learn how to sail an 18th century ship. In ports, it is also a popular visitor destination. The ship Götheborg is owned SOIC AB and operated by Rederi Götheborg AB. Both SOIC AB and Rederi Götheborg AB are fully owned subsidiaries of Greencarrier Group, a family-owned company with over 40 years of history specialising in logistics solutions.
