[1] The ferry lines are operated on the basis of public procurement contracts, and most of the company's vessels are owned by the Estonian state, and specially built for these routes.

[2] In addition, the Kihnu Maritime Fleet also owns two passenger ferries, "Amalie" and "Reet", both of which are over fifty years old, and are used as back-up vessels.

[7] A large scale rescue operation took place in the Gulf of Riga in the early morning of 10 November 2023 when Kihnu Veeteed's ferry Amalie developed a 10-15 degree list caused by cargo shifting in bad weather.

[8][9][10] Kihnu Veeteed board member Jaak Kaabel said Amalie's passengers, the vehicles on the car deck, and the ferry itself were unharmed in the incident.

[11] Regional minister Madis Kallas said a modern ferry would be procured to provide back-up on services to Ruhnu and the other smaller island routes.
