Ave Line

The Ave Line is a Latvian shipping company that operates between Lübeck- Travemünde and Riga.

History

The Ave Line was founded in 2000 and launched on 21 November 2008, the first ferry service between Travemünde and Liepāja.

After the Ave Line ( formerly Brave Merchant) was driven initially only with the chartered Ave Liepaja, the end of 2008, a second ship, the Ave Luebeck (formerly Dawn Merchant) chartered. Before this, however, had reached the Baltic Sea Region, the charter was canceled. After the charter of the Ave Liepaja had expired at the end of 2009, the ferry service for about four months fell from before the Baltic Amber (formerly Borja ) was provided as a successor ship into service in April 2010. After Scandlines took over the route from Travemünde to Liepāja, Ave Line ran first to the Latvian port of Ventspils before the service to Riga was changed.

On 14 October 2010 it was announced that the Baltic Amber was chartered as a replacement ship for wrecked Lisco Gloria at DFDS Lisco. This has Ave Line since 17 October 2010 on the ship no more.
