Tallink Silja Line - Further Information on Tallink Silja Line Ferry Services
Tallink Silja Line (Officially AS Tallink Group) is one of the largest passenger ferry operators in the Baltic Sea region. The company operates on seven shipping routes under the brands of Tallink and Silja Line. Tallink Silja Line operate a fleet of 19 high spec passenger ferries offering the very best in comfort and facilities including the latest addition to their fleet the new Baltic Queen.
Tallink Silja Line was formed in 2006 following the sale of Silja Line to the Estonian Tallink. The SuperSeaCats trafficking between Helsinki and Tallinn were not included in the sale as their purchase would have given Tallink a dominant market position on the route, which would have resulted in the competition regulators of Finland and Estonia not approving the sale.
As a result Sea Containers continued operating them under the SuperSeaCat brand. In late 2006 the land organisations of Tallink and Silja Line were reorganised in Finland so that Tallink Finland and Superfast Finland were merged into Oyj Silja Abp, which now took care of all Finnish operations of Tallink/Silja. Shortly afterwards Oyj Silja Abp was renamed into Tallink Silja Oy. Similarly the land organisations in Sweden became Tallink Silja AB. |

To date the Silja Line brand is seperated from Tallink with each vessel taking up only one of the brands in their naming and livery. However, most Silja Line marketing in Finland and Sweden has since the takeover been made under the combined Tallink Silja name.
In July 2008, the Tallink ship MS Galaxy replaced the Silja Festival on the Turku—Mariehamn—Stockholm route. The Galaxy was flagged to Sweden and the text Silja Line was painted on her hull sides. The Tallink logo has remained on her funnel and the Navitrolla-designed livery of the ship, which differs from the livery of other the Silja ships, was unaltered. The Silja Festival was in turn moved to Tallink's Stockholm-Riga, her funnel repainted in Tallink colors and the text Tallink on her sides. Silja Festival remained as her registered name even after the transfer.
