TS Laevad ("TS Ships") is an Estonian ferry company which operates two routes between the Estonian mainland and the islands of Saaremaa and Hiiumaa in the Baltic Sea.[1] It is a fully owned subsidiary of the Port of Tallinn, which is in turn owned by the Estonian state.[2]
The routes operated are Rohuküla-Heltermaa and Kuivastu-Virtsu. The company owns five ferries, of which four (Leiger, Piret, Tiiu and Tõll) were new-builds delivered in 2016/17. These four ferries each has a capacity of 700 passengers and 150 cars. Regula is an older vessel, built in 1971, which is used as a reserve.[1]
TS Laevad replaced the previous operator, SLK, on 1 October 2016,[3] and is contracted to operate the routes until 2026.[4]
In 2018, the company's ferries carried a total of 2.3 million passengers and 999,000 vehicles.[5]
