The following operational factors influenced the development.
FINLAND-SWEDEN
The sale of M/S SkyWind in August 2007 resulted in smaller capacities in September 2007 compared to the same period of previous year. M/S Silja Festival was in scheduled dock and didn't operate for three days in September 2007.
ESTONIA-FINLAND
The Tallink Shuttle service between Tallinn and Helsinki has positively affected the number of transported volumes compared to the Autoexpress service in the same period of last year.
ESTONIA-SWEDEN
M/S Romantika was in scheduled dock and didn't operate for eight days.
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 increased the volumes on Latvia-Sweden route.
