The following operational factors influenced the
development.
ESTONIA-FINLAND
M/S Galaxy with larger capacities, operates on the Tallinn-
Helsinki route instead of M/S Romantika.
M/S Meloodia was chartered out from the beginning of the
January 2007 and was not operating on the Tallinn-Helsinki
route. The lower capacity was partly off-set by the
operations of M/S AutoExpress 2 during 1st to 9th January
2007 and by the operations of M/S Vana Tallinn starting from
the 10th of January 2007. Since the middle of January 2007
Superfast vessels started operating on the Tallinn-Helsinki
route with one round-trip per day.
In the beginning of January the cargo capacity was smaller
on the Estonia-Finland route because M/S Meloodia was not in
operations. The cargo capacity was increased later from the
middle of January as the Superfast vessels started to
operate one round-trip per day. The higher capacity and
increasing cargo demand led to higher number of cargo units
in January 2007.
ESTONIA-SWEDEN
M/S Romantika with larger capacities, operates on the
Tallinn-Stockholm route instead of M/S Regina Baltica.
M/S Vana Tallinn was not operating on the Paldiski-
Kapellskär route in January 2007 and both the passengers and
cargo capacity was thereby smaller than in January 2006.
The cargo and passenger 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.
FINLAND-GERMANY
M/S Superfast VII was out of operations for 6 days during
repair-works in the harbour.
FINLAND-SWEDEN
M/S Silja Europa was in scheduled dry-docking and the ferry
did not operate for 6 days.
M/S Sea Wind did not operate for 5 days because of repairs.
