The Ave Line is a Latvian shipping company that operated between Lübeck - Travemünde and Riga .
history
The Ave Line was founded in 2000 and started ferry operations between Travemünde and Liepāja for the first time on November 21, 2008 .
After the Ave Line initially only sailed with the chartered Ave Liepaja (formerly Brave Merchant ), a second ship, the Ave Luebeck (formerly Dawn Merchant ), was chartered at the end of 2008 . However, before this had reached the Baltic Sea region , the charter was canceled. After the charter of Ave Liepaja expired at the end of 2009, the ferry service was canceled for about four months before the Baltic Amber (formerly Borja ) was put into service as the successor ship in April 2010 . After Scandlines took over the route from Travemünde to Liepāja, Ave Line first called the Latvian port in Ventspils before switching to Riga.
On October 14, 2010 it was announced that the Baltic Amber was chartered to DFDS Lisco as a replacement ship for the damaged Lisco Gloria . As a result, Ave Line no longer has a ship since October 17, 2010.
