DescriptionMS Tallink and MS Mare Balticum 1996.jpg |
Ferry ships on the route to Finland. Tallink was a joint Soviet - Finnish venture from the Perestroika period of 1989. The ship on the left, MS Tallink, was the first and only ship on the tourist route between Helsinki and Tallinn Estonian independence followed in 1991. After several changes of name, in 1996, AS Hansatee commenced operation, trading as Tallink</a>, as here. At this time, ships were chartered and from 2002 onwards new ships were bought. Now part of the Tallink- Silja group. (AS Tallink Grupp bought the Finnish Silja business in 2006) Perhaps someone can identify the ferry on the right (**see below and comments) - the yellow bar with Estonian flag logo might indicate a Stockholm connection. I think it is the MS Mare Balticum</a> owned by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EstLine" rel="nofollow">Estline</a> between 1994 and 1996. The ship was originally the Diana II , built by Meyer in Papenburg for AB Slite operating the Viking line between Finland and Sweden. Now known as the Meloodia, having been renamed and replaced in August 1996 when the Regina Baltica replaced her. The renamed Meloodia then operated to Helsinki with Tallink. Estline, a Swedish-Estonian venture was founded in 1990 and merged with Tallink in 2000 and which operated the ill-fated MS Estonia which sank in 1994 THese days <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/32323756@N07/3645717841/in/set-72157619974912141/">the ships are much larger</a>, thanks to @koski jukovovic.
