MS Georg Ots was a cargo/passenger ferry that sailed between Helsinki, Finland and Tallinn, Estonia from 1980 to 2000. From 2002 it was used as a cargo/passenger ferry that sailed between St.Petersburg and Baltiysk. The ship was built for the Estonian Shipping Company. The 12,600-ton ship (length 134 meters, breadth 21 meters, draft 5,7 meters) could carry 1200 passengers, thirteen 13.6 m-long trailers or 107 passenger cars. It was named after the Estonian baritone, Georg Ots. In 2002 she was sold to the St. Petersburg Shipping Company and sailed until 2010.
