Outlook and guidance
Priorities include cost efficiency, profitable core-route operations, flexible vessel deployment and reliable service; low-season measures include charters, alternative vessel use and evaluating non-core asset divestments.
Q4 fuel costs depend on prices, consumption and cost management; higher costs may not be fully passed through to ticket prices.
No further route suspensions are planned; restoring Paldiski–Kapellskär is considered unlikely under current fuel prices, though the option remains under review.
Romantika charter opportunities are being pursued, targeting work in Q4 or by Q1; low-season regular-service deployment is considered unlikely.
Cargo growth continued into early Q4; low-season passenger activity and cost control remain priorities.
