2007 novembri ja 2007/2008 I kvartali statistika

Message

AS-i Tallink Grupp laevadega veetud reisijate arv novembris 2007 oli 480 974,   
mis on 5,7% madalam kui aasta tagasi. Eesti-Soome vahelises liikluses on tunda  
uue laeva Star ja Shuttle teenuse positiivset mõju, mille tulemusena kasvas     
reisijate arv novembris 5,6% ning Tallinki turuosa nimetatud liinil tõusis      
ligikaudu 50%-ni. Veetud kaubaveoühikute arv kokku novembris oli 29 844.        
Sõiduautode arv kasvas ligi 12% ja ulatus 39 754-ni.                            

Oktoobris toimunud üleminek uuele, kogu ettevõtet hõlmavale piletite 
broneerimis- ja registreerimissüsteemile avaldas negatiivset mõju ka novembri   
broneeringutele, kuid samas on näha, et süsteemi käivitamisest tingitud mõjud
on vähenemas. 

2007 a. novembris ja 2007/2008 majandusaasta esimeses kvartalis veeti AS-i      
Tallink Grupp laevadega reisijaid, kaubaveoühikuid ja sõiduautosid järgmisel:

Arengutele avaldasid mõju järgmised asjaolud.                                   

SOOME-ROOTSI:                                                                   

M/L SkyWind müügist 2007 aasta augustis tulenes madalam veomahutavus võrreldes  
eelmise aasta esimese kvartaliga. Muutus on peamiselt mõjutanud kaubaveoühikute 
arvu.                                                                           


EESTI-SOOME:                                                                    

„Tallink Shuttle“ teenus mida opereerib uus M/L Star võrreldes Autoexpress      
kiirlaevade, M/L Meloodia ja M/L Regal Star opereerimisega eelmise aasta samal  
perioodil.                                                                      

EESTI-ROOTSI:                                                                   

Erinevalt eelmisest aastast ei opereeri M/L Vana Tallinn enam                   
Paldiski-Kapellskäri liinil.                                                    

LÄTI-ROOTSI:                                                                    

Opereerimine kahe laevaga ja igapäevased väljumised mõlemasse sihtpunkti        
võrreldes ühe laeva opereerimisega eelmisel majandusaastal on suurendanud       
Läti-Rootsi liini mahtusid.                                                     


Tulenevalt eelpoolnimetatud muutustest opereerimistes ja laevastikus on reiside 
arv meie liinidel eelmise aastaga võrreldes vähenenud 30%.

Title

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

Message

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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
