The following operational factors influenced the
development:
ESTONIA-FINLAND:
M/S Galaxy, larger in capacities, operates Helsinki-Tallinn
route instead of M/S Romantika.
Cargo vessel M/S Regal Star was in the dock. The vessel did
not operate for 20 days.
ESTONIA-SWEDEN:
M/S Romantika, larger in capacities, operates Tallinn-
Stockholm line instead of M/S Regina Baltica.
Resulting from the swap of M/S Regal Star and M/S Kapella
the car deck capacity was smaller on Estonia-Sweden routes
which resulted lower volumes. The cargo and vehicle volumes
on Estonia-Sweden routes are partly affected also from the
fact that some Latvian and Lithuanian customers are using
Latvia-Sweden route instead.
