AS Tallink Grupp transported altogether 648 814 in October, which is 23,2 percent more than last year. The passenger numbers as well as market share increase on company`s all major routes.
Strong effect to the increased passenger numbers has come from the new booking system which is now working at its full functionality but as well from the sucessful vessels' re-routing in summer.
On Finland-Estonia route Tallink serviced 285 965 passengers in October, which is 34,7 percent than last year. The noticeable 35% increase on the passenger numbers and 86% increase on the passenger vehicles between Estonia-Finland are besides to the Tallink Shuttle service development supported also by the decreased competition.
