Sanna leaves Färjerederiet has decided that Sanna no longer should be at Holmöleden. When todays (Thursday) tours are completed Sanna will leave Holmön. The decision has been made without notice or considering that there are bookings most of the summer. There is a waitning need for transports to and from Holmön after the abscens of the ferry. The few tours carried out by Sanna has not fulfill this need. The decition is therefore incomprehensible since Trafikverket and Färjerderiet in no way have fulfilled their obligation since the transport capacity has not even been up to what the ferry could have done. All that have booked time on Sanna next week nad later on this summer are encouraged to contact Trafikverket and Färjerederiet to question how booked transport will not be fulfilled. 12-06-28 |
