Leedo redirects here. For the similar sounding word, see Lido disambiguation Vjat eslav Leedo is the stockholder of Saaremaa Shipping Company , and due to a number of controversial remarks, commonly recognised as the face of the company. Particularly known are his frequently voiced opposition towards building a bridge between Virtsu and Kuivastu , a transit route currently served by Saaremaa Shipping Company, and yearly allegations regarding his orders, supposedly deliberately too early, to begin ice breaking on the route. This procedure breaks the ice road between Virtsu and Kuivastu . The ice road is free to use for everybody, but when it s broken, transit must be done by ferry service, and this profits Saaremaa Shipping Company.
