Wasaline Had Its Best Q1 Since Its Start in 2013
One-ship operator Wasaline continues to grow with new record volumes for Q1.
- Passengers +13.6 %
- Cargo units +12.5%
- Cargo lane meters +18%
- Hotel bookings via Wasaline also increased by 33.1% in Vaasa and 12.3% in Umeå.
Tallink Grupp’s Q1 sees a healthy growth in the rolling traffic.
- Vehicles 222,370 = +2.3%
- Cargo units: 90,687 = +8.2% (growth most significant on Estonia-Finland +12.9% and Latvia-Sweden +62.6%)
- Passengers went down a bit: 1,930,449 = -0.5%
The reason for the slight drop in passengers is that for almost ten weeks only one instead of two vessels was operating the Turku-Stockholm route.
On a positive side, Estonia-Sweden and particularly Latvia-Sweden routes are developing very well and the passenger numbers are increasing.
