The following operational factors influenced the development.
FINLAND-SWEDEN
The sale of M/S SkyWind in August 2007 resulted in smaller capacities in July 2008 compared to July 2007.
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.
On 23rd of July 2008 M/S Galaxy started to operate Turku-Stockholm route by replacing M/S Silja Festival.
ESTONIA-FINLAND
In the end of April the second Tallink Shuttle vessel Superstar started to operate between Tallinn and Helsinki.
FINLAND-GERMANY
The traffic results were affected by the increased competition in cargo transportation.
