Message

AS Tallink Grupp vedas 2008 aasta augustis 782 921 reisijat, mis on 8,3% kasv   
võrreldes eelmise aasta augustiga. Enim tõusis reisijate arv Läti - Rootsi      
liinil, kus ligi 57%-lisele kasvule avaldas suurt mõju hiljutine laevade        
ümberpaigutamine liinidel.

Arengutele avaldasid mõju järgmised asjaolud.                                   

SOOME-ROOTSI                                                                    

M/L SkyWind müügist 2007 aasta augustis tulenes madalam veomahutavus 2008 aasta 
augustis.                                                                       

Muutunud on M/L Sea Wind sõidugraafik, mille tulemusena laev ei peatu enam      
Ahvenamaal. Laevaga veetakse peamiselt kaubaveoühikuid erinevalt varasemast, mil
toimus ka reisijate ja sõiduautode vedu.                                        

Mahutavuselt suurem M/L Galaxy opereerib Turu-Stockholmi liinil M/L Silja       
Festival asemel.                                                                

EESTI-SOOME                                                                     

Tallinn-Helsingi liinile lisandus 2008. aasta aprilli lõpus teise „Tallink      
Shuttle“ laevana Superstar.                                                     

Uus M/L Baltic Princess vahetas liinil välja 2006. aastal valminud M/L Galaxy,  
mis suundus Turu- Stockholmi liinile.                                           

LÄTI-ROOTSI                                                                     

M/L Silja Festival, mis on suurem mahutavuselt vahetas välja laeva Vana Tallinn.

SOOME-SAKSAMAA                                                                  

Soome ja Saksamaa vahelist veotulemust mõjutas suurenenud konkurents kaubaveos.

more than in August 2008. The highest growth in August was seen in the          
Latvia-Sweden route where nearly 57% increase is an effect of the recent        
vessel's reroutings.

The following operational factors influenced the development.                   


FINLAND-SWEDEN                                                                  

The sale of M/S SkyWind in August 2007 resulted in smaller capacities in August 
2008.                                                                           

M/S Sea Wind schedule was changed so that the vessel will not stop in the Aland 
Islands any more. As a result the vessel is now carrying only cargo units       
compared to passenger, car and cargo mix before.                                

M/S Galaxy which is larger in capacity operates in the Turku-Stockholm route    
instead of M/S Silja Festival in August 2008.                                   


ESTONIA-FINLAND                                                                 

In the end of April the second Tallink Shuttle vessel Superstar started to      
operate between Tallinn and Helsinki.                                           

In July new M/S Baltic Princess replaced the 2006 built M/S Galaxy which moved  
to Turku-Stockholm operations.                                                  
                                                                                
LATVIA-SWEDEN                                                                   

M/S Silja Festival which is larger in capacity has replaced M/S Vana Tallinn.   

FINLAND-GERMANY                                                                 

The traffic results were affected by the increased competition in cargo         
transportation.
