On August 5, 2013 within the joint project of post
administrations of the Russian Federation and the Aland Islands (Finland) the Russian
post introduced into circulation a postage value "Passenger ferries".
On stamp is represented the passenger ferry liner plying between St. Petersburg
and the Aland Islands.
The issue is printed in mini sheet of 12 values with decorating margins. Design: C Ulianovsky. Size of stamps: 50 x 37
mm. Edition: 456 000 copies (38 000 sheetlets). For this issue is prepared the souvenir art folder published
by edition of 1000 copies. In a cover there are stamps, the First Day envelopes
with cancellation of the Russian Federation and the Aland Islands.
The most convenient way to reach from Russia the Aland
Islands and back is by sea. Between St. Petersburg and the capital of the Aland
Islands Mariehamn city some the comfortable passenger ferries ply. Travel on
the ferry is a fascinating voyage and fine sea types behind liner windows.
