Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA group

The pandemic will continue to impact global economic activity in the short to medium term. The extent of the future impact on operating income and result and on asset prices remains uncertain. Wilhelmsen retains its robustness and capacity to meet this uncertainty.

The newly launched segmentation of the group portfolio is expected to lead to further growth in both Maritime Services and the renewable energy and decarbonisation space.
