Ferry traffic from Saaremaa to Gotland to be launched next summer

Juhan Tere, BC, Estonia, 22.11.2010.Print version
Opening a ship route Gotland–Ventspils–Saaremaa that has been on the agenda for the past couple of years will become reality next summer, NLETA/ational Broadcasting reports.

Kuressaare city council development adviser Ingrid Tilts told Saarte Hääl that the ship connection between three states will be launched in 2011 but the schedule of the route and the period when the trips take place has not yet been determined. “It is clear that the route will start with a small ship and not very frequent trips but the aim is to increase the service so that it would persist in the future,” said Tilts.

 

In order to do the necessary research, the Interreg IV A Central Baltic Sea programme has allocated for the Ventspils free port, Gotland commune and Kuressaare city cooperation project nearly 1.6 million euros in two years.
