TS Laevad in talks to find 4 substitute ferries
"We are in talks with four companies, some of which are Estonian and some foreign companies. We have agreed on conditions and are waiting for feedback," told CEO of TS Laevad, Kaido Padar.
Padar
did not want to name the companies or say when the first contract is to be
signed. He also did not want to talk about a maximum amount for renting the
vessels since he does not want to influence the partners.
According
to the daily Postimees, the ferry
Leiger which is being built in Turkey will be ready soon but probably not on
time. There is a slight chance that the second ship, Toll which is being built
in Poland, would be ready on time but the more realistic deadline is the middle
of October.
The
ferry Piret is to probably arrive from Poland in December, while the arrival
time of Tiiu from Turkey will be clear in coming weeks.
