The following operational factors influenced the development.                   

FINLAND-SWEDEN                                                                  

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

ESTONIA-FINLAND                                                                 

New cruise ferry M/S Baltic Princess has replaced the 2006 built M/S Galaxy     
which moved to Turku- Stockholm operations.                                     

From September 2008 the Superfast vessels are not doing the daily               
Tallinn-Helsinki roundtrip any more.                                            

ESTONIA-SWEDEN                                                                  

New cruise ferry Baltic Queen started operations in 24 April 2009 and replaced  
smaller MS Romantika which moved to Riga-Stockholm route.                       

LATVIA-SWEDEN                                                                   

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


FINLAND-GERMANY                                                                 

The operations in the route are continued with the two vessels instead of three 
as Superfast IX has stopped from September 2008 and is employed in the long-term
charter.
