SECOND VESSEL
Viking Line plans to offer daily sailings each way between Stockholm, Mariehamn and Helsinki from 30 June to 6 August by bringing in Viking Cinderella (1989/46,398gt) to sail opposite route regular Gabriella (1998/35,492gt). Instead of lying in the Finnish capital all day, each ship will also offer a return sailing to the Estonian capital, Tallinn. RP
BAJA BUY
Mexican company Baja Ferries has bought Eurocargo Sicilia (2009/29,004gt) from the Italian Grimaldi Group and immediately sent the 3,663 lane-metre freight ro-ro to the Viktor Lenac yard in Croatia for a six-month conversion, from which she will emerge as California Star II. She is expected to go on the Pichilingue-Topolobampo route. RP
