Statistics for November 2007 and I quarter of 2007/2008 financial year

The total number of passengers carried by AS Tallink Grupp in November 2007 was 480,974 which is 5.7% less than in November 2006. The impact of our new Shuttle vessel “Star” is noticeable as the passenger numbers between Estonia and Finland increased by 5.6% and Tallink's market share increased to approximately 50%. The number of cargo units transported in November was 29 844. The number of passenger cars increased by nearly 12% and reached 39,754.

The implementation of the new Group wide booking and check-in system in October had negative impact also to the November bookings, however we see that the impact is already reducing.

AS Tallink Grupp's passenger, cargo units and passenger car numbers for November 2007 and first quarter of the 2007/2008 financial year were the following:

The following operational factors influenced the development.

FINLAND-SWEDEN:

The sale of M/S SkyWind in August 2007 resulted in smaller capacities in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same period of previous year. The change mainly affected the cargo units.

ESTONIA-FINLAND:

Tallink Shuttle service with new M/S Star was operated between Tallinn and Helsinki route compared to the Autoexpress service and the operations of M/S Meloodia and M/S Regal Star in the same period of last year.

ESTONIA-SWEDEN:

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.

As a result of the above mentioned operational and fleet changes the overall number of trips on our routes has decreased by 30% compared to the number of trips last year.
