Ferryboat Baltijsk is planned to be returned to Ust-Luga-Baltijsk line in September, Andrei Moshkov, Deputy Director General of Rosmorport’s North-West Basin Branch referring to ferryboat operator Trans-Exim Ltd., said. Andrei Moshkov says the ferryboat’s engine is under repair.
Ust-Luga – Baltijsk line was earlier serviced by three ferryboats: Baltijsk and Peterburg operated by Trans-Exim Ltd. as well as Ambal operated by Oboronlogistika LLC. The Peterburg was taken off the line on January 28, by the owner’s decision amid economically impractical deployement at the line. The Ambal operating at the line is to undergo modernization.
