President's statement for the January to March 2011

The beginning of the quarter was negatively impacted by the severe ice situation in the Baltic Sea. The ice situation caused disruptions to our schedule and particularly in the RoRo Baltic Division, but the other divisions were also negatively impacted. This has primarily resulted in lower earnings and higher bunker costs.

We can also report that the general market in the Industrial Shipping business area will remain weak during the year, with strained freight rates, tough competition and continued tonnage surplus. The results for the first quarter are unsatisfactory, although earnings in the business area improved compared with the year-earlier period. However, there are rays of hope, particularly in the Container Division, which has a profitable trend. To ensure future development in the business area, we have acquired all shares in the shipping and logistics company, Österströms. The acquisition means that the business area will gain a competitive size and better basis to improve customer benefits and profitability.

For the Offshore/Icebreaking business area, the quarter was also characterized by the severe ice situation in the Baltic Sea. All three icebreakers were deployed by the Swedish Maritime Administration for icebreaking. In addition to icebreaking, some of the vessels operated in a weak offshore spot market in the North Sea. We can report that the spot rates have passed the lowest level and are on their way up.

The Board of Directors has decided to evaluate a future demerger of the Group with the aim of ensuring future expansion of the Offshore/Icebreaking and Industrial Shipping business areas. The decision means that parts of the Offshore/Icebreaking business area will be relocated to Denmark and that the head office for the operations will be established in Copenhagen. Christian W Berg has been recruited as President of the business area. The operation shall be based on and developed from the experience from the existing organizations in Sweden and Norway.

Earnings for the first quarter were weak and in 2011 we must adapt our expenses to the currently prevailing market situation. We will also continue to work intensely to increase our earnings in both Industrial Shipping and Offshore/Icebreaking. As a feature of this, it was gratifying to receive delivery of the Njord Viking and to acquire Österströms.

I look forward to working together, with a distinct focus on the offshore operations and a new and larger Industrial Shipping business area.

Skärhamn, May 3, 2011

Rolf Skaarberg President

Consolidated earnings for January—March

Consolidated net revenues amounted to SEK 578 M (563). The increase in revenue is attributable to the Offshore/Icebreaking business area and due partly to increased activities and the delivery of the AHTS-vessel, Njord Viking, in February 2011.

The Group posted net loss after tax of SEK 53 M (loss; 3). Loss before tax was SEK 65 M (loss; 85).

As of September 2010, the business area is 100% owned (formerly 50%), which disrupts comparison, between the periods. The earnings in the first quarter of 2011 would have amounted to a loss of SEK 36 M, if the ownership interest was 100% .

2) Operating profit: Earnings before tax and restructing costs.

3) The figures includes provisions totaling SEK 5 M för the departing President and the amount is based on a specific agreement between the parties. The full year 2009 includes impairment losses on the value of SEK 241 M, as well as capital loss of SEK 6 M from the divestment of the vessel Oak, in the Industrial Shipping.

4) The effects are attributable to the acquisition of Trans Viking with SEK 775 M.

5) The amount in the first quarter 2011 (and 2010) consists deferred taxes. The full-year 2010 is included with current tax

of SEK 2 M. With current tax means tax payable or received for current year.

In addition to SEK 480 M in cash and cash equivalent, SEK 14 M represents frozen/pledged funds and SEK 313 M is reserved in a special account to secure the Group's cash commitment on the deliveries of two AHTS vessels that are expected to be delivered in the third quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012. The low access to cash and cash equivalents restrict the Group's freedom of action.

At March 31, the Group's shareholders equity was SEK 2,315 M, (corresponding to SEK 41.70 per share), of which the minority share of shareholders' equity was SEK 19 M, or 0.30 SEK per share. Utnyttjad checkkredit at the end of the quarter amounted to SEK 92 M.

Offshore/Icebreaking business area

The business area's vessels are active in the market for arctic offshore, in the offshore spot market in the North Sea and in the global offshore sector. The fleet comprises sic offshore vessels and two new-build contracts scheduled for delivery in 2011/2012. Three of the existing offshore vessels are developed to cope with both icebreaking and offshore assignments.

During the quarter, Tor, Vidar and Balder Viking were partly deployed with icebreaking in the Baltic Sea on behalf of the Swedish Maritime Administration. Pursuant to regulations governing Swedish shipping subsidies, the vessels are not entitled to any shipping subsidies while operating as icebreakers. This resulted in cost increases during the period, as well as a deficit in the current cost level due to the low rates that the company receives from SM for icebreaking.

In mid-February, the second vessel in the series of four AHTS vessels, Njord Viking, was delivered. During the period, the vessel operated in a weak offshore spot market in the North Sea. At the beginning of the second quarter, rates in the offshore spot market began to rise. A four-year contract was signed for Njord Viking with the ENI oil company. The Njord Viking will assist in exploration and expansion of the operation in the Barents Sea including the Goliath field. The contract value amounts to approximately NOK 430 M. The charter will commence during the second half of 2011.

The Loke Viking has commenced a charter for Statoil in the Barents Sea, which is anticipated to extend for a long period during 2011. A contract has been signed for Balder Viking, with the UK oil company Capricorn Energy Ltd. Balder Viking will assist in oil drilling west of Greenland. The assignment extends over a fourmonth period, with the option of an additional two months. The Odin Viking continues to be deployed with a long-term offshore assignment off the coast of Brazil. The assignment is expected to be concluded in May 2011.

The construction of two additional anchor-management vessels continues as planned. The third vessel in the series, Trans Barents, is scheduled for delivery during the third quarter of 2011 and the fourth vessel is scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of 2012.

The business area reported an operating loss of SEK 27 M (loss: 12) for the first quarter.

Net revenue 105 27 298

Profit margin -26% -47% 15%

1) As of September 2010, the business area is 100% owned (formerly 50%), which disrupts comparison between the periods. Revenues and earnings in the first quarter of 2010 would have amounted to SEK 53 M and a loss of SEK 36 M, respectively, if the ownership interest was 100% as in the year-earlier period.

Industrial Shipping business area

The business area conducts systems traffic in the Baltic Sea using RoRo and container vessels, (RoRo Baltic Division), container bases scheduled service operations between Sweden and the UK (Container Division), contract based bulk transport in the Baltic Sea, Mediterranean Sea and North Sea as well as RoRo services across the Atlantic and with side port vessels traffic along the US east cost, USEC (Bulk Division).

The RoRo‐Baltic Division conducts scheduled services between Finland and Sweden/Germany on two RoRo routes and a container line. In addition, the division hires cargo space from StoraEnso in its systems traffic, which serves ports in the Gulf of Bothnia. In traffic in northern Finland, the TransLumi line, volumes remained stable during the period.

Traffic in northern Finland, the TransLumi Line, was impacted by the severe ice distribution at the beginning of the quarter. The ice situation caused disruptions in the traffic, resulting in delays and fewer trips. This meant lower cargo revenue and higher bunker utilization, which had a negative impact on earnings, primarily in the container route, TransFeeder North. In traffic in southern Finland, the TransSuomi Line, the two RoRo vessels continued with stable cargo volumes, although delays occurred due to the strained ice situation in the Gulf of Finland.

The Container Division conducts container-based scheduled service in the UK, TransPal Line, and feeder traffic, TransFeeder South.

The TransPal Line started the year with major operational disruptions due to the severe ice and wind conditions, which caused delays and additional expenses. Despite this, the start meant that volumes increased significantly, particularly import volumes from the UK to Sweden. This was due to the strong SEK and intense market cultivation.

In TransFeeder South, volumes remained at high levels and continued excellent balance in traffic. Due to capacity shortage, larger tonnage will be introduced on the route early in the second quarter. A number of project cargos were executed during the quarter, which generated positive earnings in the division.

In the Bulk Division, the severe ice situation in the Baltic Sea and a weak market had a negative impact on earnings. The four smaller bulk vessels have been chartered to Österströms for a 12 month period, on a T/C basis. The market for the larger bulk vessels is under strong price pressure due to the numerous uncertainty factors in the global economy. Westbound volumes increased somewhat, which is expected to generate better balance in the traffic flows across the Atlantic.

Westbound traffic with newsprint showed continued weak earnings and a contributory factor was the fire in Norske Skogs plant in Halden, Norway. Deliveries of newsprint from Canada to North Europe rose and we expect higher utilization degree in the coming period. Volumes of newsprint from Canada to the USEC have also displayed a positive trend. Traffic from Canada to the Caribbean also shows positive results, since it is combined with carbon anodes as return cargo back to Canada.

Industrial Shipping posted an operating loss of SEK 11 M (loss 60) for the first quarter.

Group organization/ Ship Management

The Group organization comprises management, central administration, finance management and Ship Management. The external Ship Management unit includes assignments for external vessel owners, such as manning for the Swedish Government's five icebreakers. The decline in net sales is attributable to the external ship-management assignment for Atlantic Container Line, which concluded in December 2010, as well as higher costs in central administration.

Operating earnings for the quarter amounted to a loss of SEK 16 M (loss; 13).

Other

Corporate tax

The general situation for the Group's current structure is that taxes payable are highly limited. Accordingly, recognized corporate tax mainly comprises deferred tax.

The recognized net deferred tax asset for the Swedish operations amounted to SEK 61 M at the end of March 2011 (40 at December 31, 2010).

The recognized deferred tax liability for the operations outside Sweden amounted to SEK 43 M at March 31, 2011 (43 at December 31, 2010).

Transaktions with closely-related parties

No transactions took place between TransAtlantic and its closely related parties that had a significant effect on the company's position and earnings.

Risks and uncertainties

TransAtlantic is a Group characterized by a high degree of international operations, thereby exposing it to a number of operational and financial risks. TransAtlantic works actively to identify and manage these risks, and risk management is included as an element of the ongoing reviews of the operations. It has been deemed that no further key risks and uncertainties have arisen in addition to those risks and uncertainties described in TransAtlantic's Annual Report 2010, page 54-55.

The ongoing newbuilding program involves payments in cash and cash equivalents in conjunction with vessel deliveries. In accordance with renegotiated loan agreements, the Group allocated funds amounting to SEK 313 M to special accounts to secure these obligations. This is recognized among other cash and cash equivalents.

Due to the year's unfavorable profitability, the Group held discussions during the year with the affected banks regarding financing terms and conditions. These discussions have been concluded with the exception of one bank. With regard to this bank, the Group could not fulfill the conditions set regarding key financial figures through and including the second quarter of 2010. As of the third quarter of 2010, the Group again posted key financial figures that are at the level or higher than specified in the financing agreement. The ongoing discussions involve the bank's right to receive compensation retroactively in the form of increased security because the Group failed to achieve the financial key figure measurements at the level specified in the financing agreement.

Accounting policies

This interim report was prepared, the Group, in accordance with the application of IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable rules in the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and for the parent Company, in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. Unless otherwise noted, the same accounting policies and calculation bases for both the Group and Parent Company have been applied as those used in the most recent Annual Report.
