Linda Line

Karolin arriving at Tallinn's Linnahall terminal in 2013.

Linda Line was the brand name of Lindaliini AS, an Estonian ferry company operating between Tallinn, Estonia and Helsinki, Finland. Its high-speed passenger ferry Karolin was the fastest vessel sailing between the two cities, linking Tallinn's Linnahall terminal and Helsinki's Makasiini terminal in 100 minutes. The company was founded in 1997.[1] Linda Line had a policy of cancelling departures when wind speeds exceeded 15 metres per second and/or wave heights were over 3 metres.[2]

Karolin was a catamaran built in Australia in 2000, which went into service with Linda Line in 2009. She had a capacity of 353 passengers and a maximum speed of 37 knots.[1][3]

Linda Line ceased operations in November 2017 and filed for bankruptcy in May 2018.[4]
