Tallink Silja with new measures to increase safety and security on-board its ferries. Tallink Silja –Â an Estonian shipping company currently operating Baltic Sea cruiseferries and ropax ships from Estonia to Finland, Estonia to Sweden, Latvia to Sweden and Finland to Sweden –Â has been concerned about recent cases of harassments and assaults on-board their ferries.
As part of their measures to increase safety and security on-baord, Tallink has started a long-term collaboration with “Night Shift” (“Nattskiftet”), an organization that works for everyone’s right to a safe nightlife.
“Nattskiftet” educates and trains volunteers (so called Night Buddies), a sober buddy during nightlife who is present to create safety and provide support, if needed.
Other measures Tallink is introducing to address alcohol-induced problems on its ferries are:
- No sale of alcohol in the duty-free shops of boats with students- and youth-crossings.
- Continued collaboration with the STAD project in Stockholm.
- Continued and regular training of service staff for responsible alcohol serving.
