Tallink Grupp's damaged SILJA EUROPA temporarily replaced on Tallinn-Helsinki route with VICTORIA I

Tallink Grupp has announced that it will temporarily replace its vessel SILJA EUROPA on the Tallinn-Helsinki route with the company’s other vessel VICTORIA I. The move comes as SILJA EUROPA sustained hull damage on the evening of 5 April 2022 when mooring at the Port of Tallinn.
After immediate assessments of the damage, it was clear that the vessel hull, which came into contact with the pier, will need repairs before the vessel can sail again. According to initial estimates the repairs are likely to take seven days.

The company has, therefore, decided to temporarily add its vessel VICTORIA I, currently in lay-up at Paljassaare port, to provide much-needed capacity on the popular Tallinn-Helsinki route.

VICTORIA I will start temporarily operating on the Tallinn-Helsinki route on Thursday, 7 April and will operate in the temporary SILJA EUROPA schedule between 7-10 April 2022.
