The investigation will be carried out in cooperation with the Finnish and Swedish safety investigation centers, but only Estonia and Sweden will fund the research in equal amounts, as Finland had fewer victims and therefore less interest in contributing to the investigation, Kallas said.
The prime minister acknowledged that a long time has passed since the Estonia ferry disaster and expressed doubts as to whether it is possible to find out exactly what happened through investigation.
"We will definitely receive answers about the situation concerning the hull, but I do not know whether we will find out the truth for good," Kallas said.
The precondition for conducting the investigation is changing laws in both Finland and Sweden. Kallas said that underwater surveys will likely not start before the summer. "All these preparations must be completed by then," she added.
