MIAMI, Oct. 11, 2021 — Landry & Kling Global Ship Services, leaders in sourcing and logistics for vessel charters, floating accommodations and cruise events worldwide, has brokered a cruise ferry charter from Tallink Grupp and is currently under negotiations for a second Tallink ship to supply critical housing during the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26). The United Kingdom, in partnership with Italy, will host the conference in Glasgow, Scotland between 31 October and 12 November 2021.
Both ships, Silja Europa and Tallink Romantika, are operated by Estonia-based Tallink Grupp and will be docked in Scotland for 25 to 31 days to serve as floating hotels. Silja Europa will provide 1119 sleeping rooms while Tallink Romantika has 685 rooms to accommodate the organizers workforce; providing security, production, audio/visual, build & technical services to COP26. Catering services will also be provided on board the ships.
