The following operational factors influenced the development in January 2020:
ESTONIA – FINLAND
Cargo vessel Seawind did not operate on the route for 26 days, shuttle vessel Megastar for 4 days and cruise ferry Silja Europa for 6 days due to scheduled maintenance.
The difference in the number of cargo units transported in January compared to the same period last year is the result of different freight capacities in the month of January in 2019 and 2020 due to market participants' vessel dockings.
LATVIA – SWEDEN
Cruise ferry Romantika did not operate on the route for 12 days due to scheduled maintenance.
