Viking Line Abp

Viking Lines verkställande direktör, Jan Hanses, kommer att avgå från sin roll under 2025 inför sin pensionering 2026. Han kommer att fortsätta som senior advisor tills dess och hjälpa till med övergången till en ny VD. Styrelsen har påbörjat rekryteringen av en efterträdare. Jan Hanses har arbetat på Viking Line sedan 1988 och varit VD sedan 2014. Styrelseordförande Jakob Johansson uttrycker tacksamhet för Hanses ledarskap, särskilt under utmanande tider. Hanses själv ser det som en förmån att ha lett företaget och anser att det nu är en bra tidpunkt för ledarskapsbyte. Frågor kan ställas till Jakob Johansson.

Viking Line Abp's business review for the period ending September 30, 2024, indicates a challenging financial environment due to a recession in Finland and geopolitical uncertainties affecting energy prices. The company expects its income before taxes for 2024 to be lower than in 2023, excluding a one-time gain from the sale of Rosella. The third quarter of 2024 was crucial but showed weaker results compared to the same period in 2023, attributed to continued consumer caution, a weak Swedish krona, and additional costs from launching Gotland Alandia Cruises. Despite improvements in occupancy rates during the summer, overall results for the first nine months were weaker than the previous year, aligning with revised forecasts. Passenger-related demand was lower than expected, affecting sales and income, while cargo revenue increased. Operating expenses rose due to higher salary costs and emission allowance expenses. Investments decreased compared to the previous year, focusing mainly on vessel refurbishments. The company faces risks related to fuel price fluctuations and environmental regulations, with strategies in place to manage these challenges. Viking Line's financial position shows a decrease in sales and income, with an increase in operating costs and a slight reduction in market share for passengers. The company continues to focus on efficiency improvements and environmental initiatives to support its operations and future growth.

Viking Line Abp rapporterar om sin verksamhet under det tredje kvartalet 2024, som har präglats av utmaningar på grund av recessionen i Finland och geopolitiska osäkerheter som påverkar energipriserna. Företagets resultat förväntas bli sämre än föregående år, exklusive en tidigare försäljningsvinst. Trots en ökning av fraktintäkterna har passagerarintäkterna minskat, vilket bidrar till en minskad omsättning och försämrat rörelseresultat jämfört med samma period 2023. Kostnaderna har ökat, delvis på grund av högre löner och utsläppsrätter. Viking Line har genomfört investeringar, bland annat i dockning av fartyg, och arbetar med att minska utsläpp genom olika projekt. Företaget står inför ekonomiska utmaningar men ser möjligheter i effektivisering och förbättring av servicekvalitet för att bibehålla lönsamhet.
