Operations and significant matters

The Annual General Meeting of Eimskip approved on 26 March 2015 a dividend payment to shareholders of ISK 5.00 per share. The total dividend payment amounted to ISK 933.2 million or EUR 6.3 million. The payment date was 21 April 2015.

On 31 August 2015 the Company cancelled its building project of 875 teus container vessel in China. Due to the cancelation the Company received on October 13 2015 a cash payment based on a bank guarantee of USD 16.1 million, equal to EUR 14.1 million. Eimskip had capitalized EUR 12.1 million for the vessel construction. The difference between the refund and capitalized amount is EUR 2.0 million and is recorded as operating revenue in the Consolidated Income Statement.

During the year the Company acquired the companies Jac.

11. Capital commitments

In 2011 Eimskip entered into an agreement with a Chinese shipbuilding company for the building of two new container vessels. The first vessel, Lagarfoss, was delivered in the second quarter of 2014. The process of building the second vessel was not proceeding according to plan and on 31 August 2015 the Company decided to cancel the vessel building project. The Company received on 13 October 2015 a cash payment based on a bank guarantee in the amount of USD 16.1 million, equal to EUR 14.1 million. The Company had capitalized EUR 12.1 million for the vessel construction. The difference between the refund and the capitalized amount is EUR 2.0 million and is recorded as operating revenue. The amount is considered as a gain on disposal of assets and indemnity which is recorded as operating revenue.
