Two DFDS ferries on Sunday departed for Germany and Sweden and ships queuing to enter the port are being gradually let in.

“Navigation was fully resumed on Sunday evening. Up to 11 vessels waited to enter the port due to the hurricane-strong winds. They are now being guided into the harbor and their number is constantly changing,” Dovilė Ringis, a public relations assistant to the head of the port, told BNS.

“Two DFDS ferries, whose departure had been delayed on Saturday by the weather conditions, left for Germany and Sweden on Sunday evening,” she said.
