The following operational factors influenced the development.
FINLAND-SWEDEN
The sale of M/S SkyWind in August 2007 resulted in smaller capacities in August
2008.
M/S Sea Wind schedule was changed so that the vessel will not stop in the Aland
Islands any more. As a result the vessel is now carrying only cargo units
compared to passenger, car and cargo mix before.
M/S Galaxy which is larger in capacity operates in the Turku-Stockholm route
instead of M/S Silja Festival in August 2008.
ESTONIA-FINLAND
In the end of April the second Tallink Shuttle vessel Superstar started to
operate between Tallinn and Helsinki.
In July new M/S Baltic Princess replaced the 2006 built M/S Galaxy which moved
to Turku-Stockholm operations.
LATVIA-SWEDEN
M/S Silja Festival which is larger in capacity has replaced M/S Vana Tallinn.
FINLAND-GERMANY
The traffic results were affected by the increased competition in cargo
transportation.
