OREANDA-NEWS. October 08, 2010. The container ship operator Sea Connect will start operating a new line, Rotterdam-Tallinn-St. Petersburg-Rotterdam.

Currently Tschudi Lines runs a once-a-week connection between Estonia and Rotterdam, which is not sufficient to meet the local market's needs for transit operations, the company said.

The transit time from Rotterdam to Tallinn will be four days, a day or two less than now, whereas the transit time to St. Petersburg will be one day.

Sea Connect is a company based in Lithuania that started business in 2007 and currently operates five container ships. The agent for Sea Connect in Estonia is SCS Estonia OU.
