PERFORMANCE ISSUES CLOSES ROSYTH-ZEEBRUGGE ROUTE

*COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT*

**performance issues closes rosyth-zeebrugge route****

The route between Rosyth in Scotland and Zeebrugge in Belgium carrying only freight is being closed. The financial performance of the route, that deploys one ro-ro freight ferry for three weekly round trips, has struggled to meet expectations. Freight volumes are, in general, increasingly being focused on large hubs offering a high frequency of departures deploying larger ferries.

As volumes are not foreseen to pick up on the route nor large enough to sustain an efficient route set-up, the route is being closed.

The annual revenue of the route was around DKK 100m in 2017.
