In 1959, the s/s Viking was the first genuine car ferry to begin service between the Finnish mainland, Åland and Sweden. On June 1, the vessel undertook its maiden voyage on the Galtby (Åland)-Mariehamn (Åland)-Gräddö (Sweden) route. The vessel was owned by a newly established company, Rederi Ab Vikinglinjen, in Mariehamn. The ferry was 99 metres long and had a capacity of 88 cars. One week later, the Swedish-based company Rederi AB Slite began ferry service between Simpnäs (Sweden) and Mariehamn on the Slite, a cargo vessel rebuilt into a ferry.
