DFDS to close HansaBridge service

DFDS Tor Line has decided to close down the HansaBridge service, running from Lübeck to Riga, and concentrate their Baltic service to the Klaipeda or St Petersburg corridors. The service will be terminated as of January 27, 2010, and the ferry Kaunas, which sails on the route, will at first be used as a replacement for some of the other ships, sailing in the Baltic during docking periods. Subsequently, it will be used on a route, where the large railway wagon capacity (Russian gauge) can be used.
