She is a sister to the already employed MV "TRANSEUROPA" with 3.200 lanemeter, 124 passenger places, 21 knots speed and highest ice class increasing the capacity on the line with clear 30%. Ventspils will be implemented into the TRE schedule with the first call on 29.07.2010. At the same time calls to Sassnitz-Mukran will be increased.
