Low sea levels hamper ferry traffic to Hiiumaa
Print version |

The operator, TS Laevad,
issued a recommendation for motorists not having a booking for their vehicle to
leave the vehicle in port.
Spokespeople for TS Laevad
said a decline in sea levels is expected to continue and traffic on the Hiiumaa
route that has a very low navigable channel will continue to be affected
substantially. The ferries Regula and St.Ola have been idle for all of Friday
and in great probability will not be able to sail the whole weekend.
The ferries Harilaid and Korgelaid were scheduled to depart
from Rohukula on the mainland at about 4:15, 5:05, 7:55, 8:35 and 11:35 p.m. on
Friday and from Heltermaa at about 6:05, 6:50, 9:45 and 10:30 p.m., with the
times subject to change depending on weather.
The number of car places booked for the Rohukula-Heltermaa
crossings is already so big that accommodating a significantly bigger number of
vehicles is unlikely given the low water level. As a result, the operator has
requested motorists with no booking for their vehicle to either change their
plans for the weekend or make the crossing without the vehicle.
It added that no refund fee will be charged on the tickets
returned because of adverse weather conditions.
