We believe that the Bronze Soldier incidents and related disorders in
Tallinn in the end of April have had negative impact to the May
passenger volumes on our routes.
ESTONIA-FINLAND:
Compared to the May of previous financial year, there have been major
changes in the fleet and operating concept. The product offering has
improved for both passengers and cargo customers. The passenger
volumes decreased by 11.8%, but at the same time the entire market
was 15% lower compared to the previous year according to Port of
Tallinn. Introduction of M/S Star and her frequent departures have
helped to increase the cargo volumes.
ESTONIA-SWEDEN:
M/S Vana Tallinn does not operate any more between Paldiski-
Kapellskär, but was there last year.
LATVIA-SWEDEN:
The operations of two vessels and everyday departures to both
destinations compared to one vessel operations in previous financial
year have significantly increased the volumes on Latvia-Sweden route.
