Estonia’s introduction into the EU has meant increased economic importance in recent years. Despite having the smallest population of any EU state, Estonia has been a transit hub for hundreds of years. The freight industry in Estonia is dominated by the railways; however, there is still a large demand for freight ferries to Estonia.

The busiest freight ferries to Estonia depart from Sweden and Finland; Tallink Silja Freight dominates the sector and there are daily departures from the Swedish capital, Stockholm, to the port of Tallinn. Visitors to Tallinn will arrive at Terminal D; parking is plentiful and there are other facilities such as a cafeteria, currency exchange and luggage storage.

Tallink Silja Freight also operates one ferry from Finland which is exclusively for freight. The M/S Regal Star has daily crossings from Kappelskar, in Finland, to Paldiski. Crossings take around 10 hours and mainly sail overnight.

The most popular freight ferries to Estonia are from the Finnish capital, Helsinki, to Tallinn. Tallink Silja operates up to six daily crossings using their Star and Superstar ferries. The crossing only takes 90 minutes and the ferries are designed to sail in all weather conditions.
