Some key elements

  • Record-breaking volumes on all routes
  • Robust performance across all serviced routes
  • Escalating bunker prices
  • A weakening Swedish Krona

Outlook

The fourth quarter commenced with volumes surpassing pre-pandemic levels. The continued high bunker prices, relatively elevated inflation, and the volatile Swedish krona continue to create uncertainty. Nevertheless, despite these factors of uncertainty, the company anticipates delivering a full-year result that is in line with its best years prior to the pandemic.
