The government will no longer provide funding for ferries. This will end next year. This way, the state will save money.
The heads of the Maritime Administration say that without support, we will lose many jobs. For example, the ship Victoria may leave Estonia.
Sweden and Finland provide funding for their ships. Estonia does not. This makes it harder for Estonian ships to operate.
The head of Tallink says that without support, it is difficult. Many people may lose their jobs.
Some people believe that support is no longer necessary. They say that Tallink is now doing profitable work.
The state has many expenses. Support does not guarantee that the ships will stay in Estonia.
