According to TGS Baltic, "the Supreme Court has decided to dismiss the appeal in cassation of the bankruptcy administrators of Saaremaa Laevakompanii and Vainamere Liinid.

By the judgment of Harju County Court of March 31, 2023, the statement of claim was dismissed. On February 9, 2024, Tallinn Circuit Court decided to dismiss the appeal of SLK and Vainamere Liinid and to uphold the judgment of Harju County Court."
