Tallink Silja Ferries

Tallink Silja Line began its ferry services across the Baltic Sea in the late 1980s, quickly establishing itself as a key regional operator. With the formation of its parent company, Tallink Grupp, in 1995, the company strengthened its presence in the market, offering high-quality service and a modern fleet of vessels with amenities like dining, entertainment, and comfortable cabins. Throughout the early 2000s, Tallink Silja Line expanded its routes to major destinations such as Helsinki, Tallinn, Stockholm, Riga, and Turku, catering to tourism and freight.

The company’s growth continued with the acquisition of Silja Line in 2006, which enhanced its market position and service offerings under the brand Tallink Silja Line. Despite challenges from competition, the late-2000s financial crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic, Tallink Silja Line has remained resilient by modernising its fleet, integrating sustainable practices, and investing in eco-friendly technologies. Today, it is a leading operator in Baltic Sea travel, known for its high standard of service and ability to adapt to the evolving maritime industry.

Tallink Silja Line is working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its operations through measures including fleet renewal, energy-efficiency improvements and the use of alternative fuels and technologies. The company also uses technologies for waste management and water treatment and operates in accordance with applicable maritime environmental requirements. These measures form part of Tallink’s work to manage the environmental impacts of its operations.
