"Since the announcement by the Finnish government last week that commuter travel as well as travel for unavoidable reasons will be permitted between Estonia and Finland again, demand for tickets has increased significantly," Tallink Grupp CEO Paavo Nõgene said. "Thus, to ensure that we are able to maintain the necessary distance between all passengers onboard to prevent the possible spread of the virus, we consider it necessary to add more departures to this vital route between our two countries."
According to the CEO, the company is taking significant steps and implementing a host of measures to enhance everyone's safety onboard its vessels, but is also encouraging its passengers to ensure they follow the rules and adhere to staff guidance both in passenger terminals and onboard its vessels.
The company is also advising passengers allow for more time to embark and disembark, and thanks its passengers for their cooperation and understanding.
