Estonia: Tallink Silja to cut about 100 jobs in Finland
The reductions are to be carried out still before the end of
the year.
The company's CEO Margus Schults said the crisis caused by
the coronavirus pandemic is so deep and protracted that the company must adjust
its business activities radically.
"Travel will not return to what it used to be for a
long time still, although recovery may start again at some point. We are
compelled to also make structural changes and rearrangements at the
company," Schults said in a statement on Wednesday.
The impacts concern, among other things, individual and
group sales, cargo carriage, onboard stores, terminals, marketing, and support
services.
Schults said that as a result of strict travel restrictions,
travel by ship has effectively come to a halt. He said that,
unfortunately, also committed employees now must stand face to face with the
economic impacts of the coronavirus pandemic.
"Our business will not return to what it was, because
the world around us has changed," Schults said.
In addition to the layoffs, also forced leave for Tallink
Silja employees will continue.
