The schedule of the route will have departures from both destination ports every day.

Tallink Latvija Managing Director Hillard Taur said that the second vessel will add the route the necessary capacity and enables the company to offer every-day services from both destination ports. „From 26th of April the travelers as well as cargo transporters don’t have to track any more, on what day they can go, but to plan trips throughout the week. Additionally we see here the growing synergies with other routes operated by the company, for instance from Stockholm there are already various shipping routes to Finland and Estonia,” said Taur.
