According to preliminary interim financial statements for Q2 2020, EBITDA will be approximately EUR 16 million compared to EUR 15.8 million in same quarter last year. Adjusted for one-off redundancy cost in the quarter, EBITDA would have been EUR 17 million or 8% higher than same quarter last year.

The streamlining measures the Company has initiated in the last quarters, including FTE reduction and sailing system changes, are being realized and counter affecting general reduction in cargo volume for the quarter.
