CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS

On the basic metrics alone, the score was 74.1 and the rank 3. The score is now 46.6 and rank 4 (▼ 1 place). The difference comes from buying motives: they measure what the buyer asks before deciding.

AI SUMMARY · AI ALGORITHM · 17.8.2026

Wasaline liikennöi Vaasan ja Uumajan välillä, ja sen sivusto on yritystietojen osalta alan läpinäkyvin: NLC Ferry Ab Oy ja Y-tunnus ovat esillä. Matkustus-, peruutus- ja kuljetusehdot sekä aikataulut ovat selkeästi saatavilla ja asiakaspalvelun yhteystiedot aukioloaikoineen on lueteltu. Autopaikan lisämaksut selviävät vasta varauksessa, eikä koottua etuohjelmaa tai chatia ole.

Strengths

  • The responsible company is stated fully transparently: the contact details page shows 'NLC Ferry Ab Oy business ID (Y-tunnus): 2490732-8', which is among the industry's best at surfacing company information
  • Matkustus-, peruutus- ja kuljetusehdot on julkaistu yhdellä jäsennellyllä sivulla, jossa on omat kohdat peruutusehdoille, ajoneuvoille, maksuehdoille sekä risteily- ja ryhmämatkojen erityisehdoille
  • Asiakaspalvelun puhelin +358 207 716 810, sähköpostit info@wasaline.com ja group@wasaline.com sekä aukioloajat (ma-pe ja la-su Suomen aikaa) on lueteltu selkeästi yhteystiedot-sivulla

Areas to improve

  • Autopaikan ja muiden lisämaksujen tarkat hinnat eivät käy ilmi omalta koostesivulta vaan selviävät vasta varaustyökalussa, vaikka ajoneuvojen kuljetusehdot on kuvattu
  • Erillistä kanta-asiakasohjelmaa tai koottua lastenalennussivua ei ollut näkyvissä, vaan edut painottuvat yksittäisiin kampanjoihin kuten Friday Music Club
  • Reaaliaikaista chat-tukea tai omaa mobiilisovellusta ei ollut tarjolla, joten asiointi tapahtuu puhelimitse ja sähköpostitse
