Silja Europa in Glasgow

MyStar at Rauma Shipyard, November 2021
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation the earnings outlook is uncertain and continues to be strongly affected by external factors such as the progress of vaccination, states' decisions regarding the timing of the lifting or imposing of travel restrictions and allowing passenger traffic, passengers' willingness to travel as well as the duration of the recovery period.
TALLINK Management expects the passenger traffic between Estonia and Finland to recover more rapidly from the second quarter of 2022, when greater immunity is expected to be reached for most of the population on Group's home markets and hospitalisation rates are decreasing.
