Moin,

In Reisebüro`s habe ich irgendwie auch keine Superfast Prospekte für die Ostsee mehr gefunden.
TAL: Acquisition of three new Superfast ferriesAS Tallink Grupp Stock Exchange Release 21.03.06
Acquisition of three new Superfast ferries
AS Tallink Grupp is pleased to announce that it has
contracted through some of its subsidiaries to buy from
Attica Holdings S.A, three Ro-Pax vessels SUPERFAST VII,
SUPERFAST VIII, and SUPERFAST IX for a total cash
consideration of Euro 310 million. Pending legal and
regulatory procedures the transaction will close in April
2006, after which AS Tallink Grupp will announce additional
information about the transaction.
The acquired new vessels will start to operate between
Estonia-Finland and Estonia-Germany. The Estonia-Finland
route allows us to meet the growing cargo demand. The
Germany route creates for Tallink new opportunities for
growth development and an opportunity to enter the central
European market. The German route offers a great link for
Estonian tourists and cargo transport and also for German
and other Central European countries an opportunity to visit
Estonia as an attractive tourist destination.
Mr. Enn Pant, CEO of AS Tallink Grupp said today: ?Both the
launching of the Riga-Stockholm route in April and today?s
acquisition allowing us to launch a route to Germany, is
part of Tallink?s ongoing aggressive strategy whereby we
create new traveling opportunities to new destinations and
at the same time insure the company?s strong future
development perspective.?
The vessels are all built in 2001 and 2002 and are over 200m
in length. All are ice-class vessels and can take over 700
passengers and 2 km. of cars and cargo. The vessels have a
speed of more than 30 knots. All vessels are practically
brand new and can cover the distance between Estonia and
Germany in under 24 hours.
