Georg Ots

 

 

This page is devoted to postcards and photographs of the Soviet passenger ship Georg Ots.

 

Georg Ots was built in 1980, the second in a series of seven similar ships in the Dmitriy Shostakovich Class used by the Soviet shipping companies as ferries and passenger/cruise ships. Georg Ots was owned by the Estonian Shipping Company (ESCO) and ran between Helsonki and Tallinn. From 1993 she was chartered to Tallink, which was 45% owned by ESCO at this time. She was withdrawn from the Helsinki-Tallin route in December 2000. Between 2002 and 2003 she ran between St Petersburg and Kaliningrad for St Petersburg Shipping.
