Latvia's economy minister Viktors Valainis and Tallink Grupp board chairman Pēpa Jalakas have agreed to continue working on solutions to restore regular passenger and cargo ferry traffic between Riga and Stockholm.
The development signals renewed momentum in efforts to re-establish the Baltic Sea route, which has been suspended amid broader regional shipping disruptions.
The agreement follows ongoing discussions between Latvian authorities and the Estonian-Swedish ferry operator to address operational and regulatory hurdles.
While no specific timeline for resumption was provided, the commitment to continue negotiations suggests both parties are prioritizing the restoration of this key transport corridor.
The Riga-Stockholm route is a vital link for trade and tourism between the Baltic states and Scandinavia.
Its suspension has had ripple effects on regional logistics and passenger travel, with alternative routes proving less efficient and more costly.
