The following operational factors influenced the development.
ESTONIA-FINLAND
M/S Galaxy, larger in capacities, operates Tallinn-Helsinki route instead of M/S Romantika.
M/S Meloodia was chartered out and did not operate on the Tallinn-Helsinki route. The lower capacity was partly off- set by the operations of M/S Vana Tallinn and Superfast vessels operating one round-trip per day.
The higher cargo capacity and demand led to higher number of cargo units in March 2007. The addition of Superfast vessels' car deck capacity has positively affected also the number of transported passenger vehicles.
ESTONIA-SWEDEN
M/S Romantika, larger in capacities, operates Tallinn-Stockholm line instead of M/S Regina Baltica.
M/S Vana Tallinn was not operating on the Paldiski-Kapellskär route in March 2007 and both the passenger and cargo capacity were thereby smaller than in March 2006.
The cargo and 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 IX was in docking and didn't operate for 9 days.
