Cargo declines for Tallink in a difficult 2025 autumn

FerryIn October 2025, Tallink transported 467,279 passengers, which is a 2.5% decrease compared to October 2024. The number of cargo units decreased by 10.2% to 21,855 units and the number of passenger vehicles decreased by 2.6% to 58,006 units compared to the same period a year ago.

The main contributor to the major over-all drop in freight units was the Finland-Sweden corridor with a decrease of 17,4%. The October Finland-Sweden results reflect the operations of the Helsinki-Stockholm (the cruise ferries SILJA SERENADE and SILJA SYMPHONY) and the Turku-Stockholm (the cruise ferry BALTIC PRINCESS) routes.

The October Estonia-Finland results reflect the operations of the shuttle vessels MYSTAR and MEGASTAR and the cruise ferry VICTORIA I. The shuttle vessel MEGASTAR did not operate for two days in October due to scheduled maintenance works.

The October Estonia-Sweden results reflect the operations of the Tallinn-Stockholm (the cruise ferry BALTIC QUEEN) and the Paldiski-Kapellskär (the RoPax SUPERFAST IX) routes. A year ago, the Paldiski-Kapellskär route was operated by two cargo vessels – SAILOR (now sold to Rederi AB Eckerö and renamed FJÄRDVÄGEN) and REGAL STAR (sold to Ams Line Shipping and renamed MED EXPRESS).
