The following operational factors influenced the development:
ESTONIA-FINLAND:
M/S Galaxy, larger in capacities, operates Helsinki-Tallinn route instead of M/S Romantika.
Cargo vessel M/S Regal Star was in the dock. The vessel did not operate for 20 days.
ESTONIA-SWEDEN:
M/S Romantika, larger in capacities, operates Tallinn-Stockholm line instead of M/S Regina Baltica.
Resulting from the swap of M/S Regal Star and M/S Kapella the car deck capacity was smaller on Estonia-Sweden routes which resulted lower volumes. 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.
