Tallink Group’s new logistics centre near Tallinn will release one million product lines per year |
ESTONIA. Leading cruise & ferry company Tallink Group this week opened a 14,500sq m logistics centre near Tallinn. The move will improve efficiency within the travel retail business for its six Baltic Sea routes.
The Tallink Logistics Center will manage the distribution of goods for the Tallink and Silja Line shipping fleet, as well as for hotels and offices.
Tallink Duty Free CEO Aimar Pärna said that growing logistics demands meant a central warehouse owned by Tallink was “the most sustainable and quick solution for the company”.
The centre houses over 12km of shelves and can release one million product lines and 2,500 trailers of goods to ships per year. The centre will receive 5,000 trucks and 100,000 pallets per year.
Tallink said: “The technical solutions are the most modern ones in the market today. The information exchange is all electronically handled and there are new types of vehicles used for transporting the goods inside the warehouse.”
AS Tallink Grupp is the largest maritime travel retailer in the Nordics, with sales of €488 million in 2014, according to The Moodie Report Top 25 Travel Retailers report.
The company operates 12 ships on routes between Estonia, Finland, Sweden and Latvia, transporting up to nine million people each year.
