Description

Suede Via Londres Billets A Bas Prix De Paris A Toutes Les Staitons Suedoises, Swedish Lloyd had joined forces with other established operators to form the ELS consortium (ELS = Ellerman’s Wilson Line, Swedish Lloyd and Stockholms Rederi “Svea”), and they initiated vehicle ferry services at the same time, with the ships Spero, Svea and Saga. Although new, and beautifully fitted out, these ships were very traditional in concept, and did not have full-height, through freight decks as designed. In contrast, the two new Tor Line ships Tor Anglia and Tor Hollandia followed the latest Scandinavian trends, with bright colours, full-height vehicle decks and high speeds (22 knots). The Tor Line marketing was aimed a new, younger clientele, and the reduced crossing times appealed to freight customers. The Tor Line service followed a triangular route pattern serving Immingham in the UK, Amsterdam in Holland, and Göteborg in Sweden. Additional freight-only services with dedicated ro-ro ferries were also soon introduced. Competition was fierce, and the three ELS members each dropped out of passenger services in turn, Swedish Lloyd’s Tilbury-Göteborg service being the last closure in 1977, following the arrival of the much larger, and even faster, Tor Britannia and Tor Scandinavia, and transfer of the UK Tor Line terminal to Felixstowe in 1976.
