Due to the COVID-19 situation the following changes regarding personnel were effective in the second quarter of 2021:
In the second quarter of 2021, staff costs amounted to EUR 25.6 million (EUR 28.0 million in 2020), which is an 8.3% decrease compared to the same period last year. The staff costs were impacted by salary support in a total amount of EUR 3.9 million (EUR 10.5 million paid in April-June 2020) from the government of Estonia, paid directly to employees in April and May. In the second quarter of 2020 the salary expenses were lowered by temporary reduction of workload and remuneration to 70% for all Estonian staff for three months and for all Latvian staff for two months. This measure was not in place in the second quarter of 2021. Salary support paid by the government of Sweden amounted to EUR 2.8 million (EUR 5.3 million in 2020) and is recognised as other operating income.

The Supervisory Board of Tallink Grupp AS consists of seven members and includes:
The Management Board of Tallink Grupp AS operates with six members and includes:
The Group considers Finland, Sweden, Estonia and Latvia its home markets with the most exposure to the economic and travel restriction developments in Finland. The Group has also high exposure to the economic and travel restriction developments in Estonia and Sweden. In the second quarter of 2021, the Group's economic environment was dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions related to international travelling.
The consumer confidence for Finnish and Swedish consumers improved by the end of the quarter, however, the overall demand in passenger traffic remained very low due to hindrances in travelling. The international travel restrictions and reduced air traffic has effectively meant absence of demand from the customers from outside our home markets since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The state-level travelling and border-crossing restrictions effectively allowed to offer only international cargo operations to and from Sweden.
In the second quarter, the cargo market fared better relative to the passenger business, supported by the recovering business confidence on all home markets. Yet the market conditions regarding price competition remained challenging resulting in a stagnant development in the average revenue per unit compared to the previous year.
Measured in euros the global fuel prices increased, on average, by 107% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to last year's low base. The annual increase in the effective prices for the Group was lower due to fuel price agreements with the price fixed above the market level effective a year ago. Increase in the fuel prices was the main cause of the Group's overall fuel cost increasing by 32% compared to the same period last year.
The European Union, Finland and Sweden, made strong progress with the vaccination process in the second quarter and at the reporting date it can be estimated that the level of protection against COVID-19 among the adult population in Finland and Sweden has reached about 80% (either vaccinated with at least one shot or recovered from COVID-19). Despite a good start, the vaccination
pace in Estonia remained slow in the quarter with the level of immunized adult population estimated to have reached only around 65%.
For the foreseeable future, the key risk has to do with global and regional developments with the COVID-19 situation, progress of vaccinations and related restrictions on travel and other economic activities, its economic damage and its impact on local and international trade.
In April, the Supervisory Board of AS Tallink Grupp extended the term of office of the Group's Chief Executive Officer Paavo Nõgene by three years and extended the term of office of Management Board Member Lembit Kitter until the end of 2021. The Supervisory Board appointed Margus Schults as the new and additional member to the Group's Management Board from 29 April 2021.
In the beginning of June, Silja Europa was on a short-term charter in the United Kingdom to accommodate Devon and Cornwall police officers involved in the G7 event.
In late June, the Group and Tanger MED Port Authority S.A., a Moroccan state-owned company, signed short-term time-charter agreements for the vessels Victoria I and Romantika. The vessels will operate on international shipping routes between Morocco and France and between Morocco and Italy in July-September 2021.
The Group and its lending banks signed amendments to loan facility agreements whereby the loan principal repayments were rescheduled and waivers of selected financial covenants were agreed. The loans' final maturities remained unchanged. Repayments in the total amount of EUR 82.1 million are deferred and added to the last payment of each respective loan facility.
In June 2021, third Burger King restaurant was opened in Latvia. By the end of second quarter, the Group operated 10 Burger King restaurants.
The renovation of Tallink City Hotel was completed and the hotel was reopened on 30 June 2021.
The new LNG shuttle vessel MyStar will be christened according to the traditions of shipbuilding in Rauma shipyard on 12 August 2021. The godmother of the new vessel will be the President of the Republic of Estonia Kersti Kaljulaid.
The Group continues preparations for opening additional Burger King restaurants in 2021. In the second half of the year altogether six new Burger King restaurants are planned to be opened in Latvia and Lithuania.
At the date of the report nearly 69% of the adult population of European Union (EU) had received at least one vaccine dose which still needs to improve to reach the EU vaccination program target of having 70% of the entire EU adult population vaccinated by summer 2021. Depending on the pace of the continuation of vaccination and natural infections, the pandemic might be controlled by the end 2021 in Europe, according to EU.
The Group's earnings are not generated evenly throughout the year. The summer period is the high season in the Group's operations. In management's opinion and based on prior experience most of the Group's earnings are generated during the summer (June-August). However, this year, dependent on situation with the vaccinations and cross-border travelling, the period may extend to autumn.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation the earnings outlook is uncertain and continues to be strongly affected by external factors such as the progress of vaccination, states' decisions regarding the timing of the lifting of travel restrictions and allowing passenger traffic as well as the duration of the recovery period. Management expects the passenger traffic between Estonia and Finland to recover rapidly after the restrictions and authorities' advice against travelling have been lifted.
Tallink Grupp AS does not have any substantial ongoing research and development projects. The Group is continuously seeking opportunities for expanding its operations in order to improve its results.
The Group is continuously looking for innovative ways to upgrade the ships and passenger area technology to improve its overall performance through modern solutions. The most recent technical projects are focusing on the solutions for reduction of the ships CO2 footprint.
The Group's business, financial position and operating results could be materially affected by various risks. These risks are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently believe are immaterial or unlikely, could also impair our business. The order of presentation of the risk factors below is not intended to be an indication of the probability of their occurrence or of their potential effect on our business.
We confirm that to the best of our knowledge, the management report of Tallink Grupp AS for the second quarter of 2021 presents a true and fair view of the Group's development, results and financial position and includes an overview of the main risks and uncertainties.
