ML Baltic Princess üleandmine
Message
AS-i Tallink Grupp tütarfirma Tallink Fast Ltd. võttis täna vastu uue kruiisilaeva Baltic Princess Helsingis, Aker Yards'i laevatehases. Baltic Princess on 212 meetrit pikk, 29 meetrit lai ning 2800 reisijat ja 1130 liinimeetrit sõidukeid mahutav kruiisilaev. Laeval on 927 kajutit, kokku 12 erinevat restorani ja baari, kolm kauplust ja üle 450-kohaline konverentsikeskus. Lastele on mõeldud mängude tuba ja spetsiaalne lasteala. Laev suudab arendada kiirust kuni 24 sõlme. Ligi 165 miljoni euro (2,58 miljardit krooni) suurust projekti finatseeris 132 miljoni euro (2,06 miljardi krooni) suuruse laenuga pankade sündikaat kuhu kuulub HSH Nordbank, Nordea Pank, SEB Pank ning Euroopa Investeerimispank. Baltic Princess alustab plaanide kohaselt Tallinna-Helsingi liinil 15 juulil 2008., kus vahetab välja Tallinki eelmise uusima kruiisilaeva, 2006. aastal valminud M/L Galaxy, mis suundub Turu-Stockholmi liinile. Galaxy vahetab seal omakorda välja M/L Silja Festivali, mis suunatakse Riia-Stockholmi liinile M/L Vana Tallinn asemele. Seega tähendab Baltic Princessi tulek uut ja paremat laeva ühekorraga kokku kolmele liinile. M/L Baltic Princess on kuues AS-ile Tallink Grupp ehitatud laev viimase kuue aasta jooksul. Ehitamisel on veel üks kruiisilaev, mis valmib Aker Yards'i laevatehases järgmisel aastal. Janek Stalmeister Finantsdirektor AS Tallink Grupp Tel. +372 6409 800 e-mail: janek.stalmeister@tallink.ee

M/S Baltic Princess will start operations on 15.07.2008 between Tallinn and Helsinki where she will replace Tallink's previous newest cruise ferry M/S Galaxy which will then be re-routed to Turku-Stockholm service. Further more, M/S Silja Festival will be re-routed from Turku-Stockholm to Riga-Stockholm where she will replace old M/S Vana Tallinn.
