President's statement for January to December 2010

In all respects, 2010 was an eventful year and in many respects an historic year for TransAtlantic. The earlier part of the year started heavily when we were hit hard by the difficult ice conditions in the Baltic Sea and thereafter by the protracted strikes in Finnish ports, have we been able to increase our profitability during the year. We have worked hard and focused on reversing the earnings trend through cost reductions and restructuring of our traffic. In addition, we have implemented TransAtlantic's largest transaction ever through the acquisition of TransViking. This transaction means that we have become a larger, stronger and more distinct company.

In addition of the write-downs of the value of vessels totaling SEK 241 M, the income for the fourth quarter were affected by the recently concluded long-term contracts with the Offshore/Icebreaking business area and by seasonal variations within the Industrial Shipping business area.

However, we see a gradually improved offshore market, which is due to the oil companies now beginning to increase their activity in oil exploration, which is a strong indicator that demand for vessels will increase. This is also confirmed by the tangible increase in bid requests at the beginning of 2011. Although the order bookings for offshore vessels remain high, this means that we have now passed the peak with regard to deliveries of newbuildings. As a result, there will gradually be a better balance between the demand and supply of vessels in the market. Nearest in the future are offshore assignments off the coasts of Greenland and Russia, where operations are planned during 2011. In addition, activity in the Barents Sea will increase during the year. Njord Viking, our newbuilding number two in a series of four, will start a four-year contract in the area for the ENI oil company. The two remaining vessels in the series will be delivered during 2011/2012. The ability to employ these vessels are considered good.

Development within the Industrial Shipping business area varied during the quarter. The beginning of the quarter was at a level comparable with the preceding quarter, but volumes declined during the end of the period. This was attributable to some of our customers closing plants in late December and that the stockpile of newsprint in the US had reached such levels that deliveries to there were stopped. As a result, the quarter was somewhat weaker in terms of earnings than the preceding quarter. The exception was performance in container traffic, which operated at a high degree of utilization during the entire quarter, with resulting improved profitability. The US market remains weak and the weak US dollar has an adverse impact on our traffic. The rapid currency change that occurred during the period, in which the SEK strengthened against nearly all currencies, resulted in significant losses during the quarter. As a result of changing market conditions within Atlantic traffic a write-downs of vessels of SEK 156 M have been made. Additional write -downs of SEK 85 M were made on vessels in the RoRo Baltic Division.

With this presentation of earnings for the fourth quarter of 2010, we mark the end of one of the most exciting years in TransAtlantic's history. The most significant event during the year was that we acquired all shares outstanding in Trans Viking, which made us a stronger and more distinct company. The acquisition also signified that we have a new majority shareholder in Norwegian Kistefos AS. Our earnings trend turned upwards during the year and earnings in the Offshore/Icebreaking business area were particularly positive. However, although the turnaround in the earnings trend was tangible, we are far away from an acceptable profitability level for the Group. We must improve earnings in all areas, and particularly in the Industrial Shipping business area, which was hit the hardest by the recession.

Overall, we have created the conditions for developing TransAtlantic into a leader in those segments in which we are active. The challenge during 2011 will be to capitalize on this opportunity.

Stefan Eliasson President

Consolidated earnings for January—December

Consolidated net revenues amounted to SEK 2,394 (2,284). The increase in reventues is attributable mainly to increased activity and higher utilization within the Offshore/Icebreakings business area.

The Group posted an net profit after tax of SEK 585 M (loss; 221). Profilt before tax was SEK 407 M (loss; 276). Earnings were affected positively by the acquisition of the joint-venture companies within the Offshore/Icebreaking business area, with a nonrecurring effect of SEK 775 M. Earnings were affected by an impairment loss of SEK 241 M on vessels values and a capital loss on vessels sail of SEK 6 M.

The Group earnings are shown in the table:

1) SEK 315 M of the consolidated cash and cash equivalents amounting to SEK 637 M was 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 second quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012.

Offshore/Icebreaking business area

The business area's vessels conduct operations in the arctic offshore, in the offshore spot market in the North Sea and in the global offshore sector. The fleet comprises six 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.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Vidar and Balder Viking AHTS vessels and the newbuilt AHTS vessel Loke Viking were employed with assistance to oil drilling rigs west of Greenland. In addition to the standard offshore assignments, the vessels were involved in ice management, which meant that a number of icebergs were towed away from the areas in which oil drilling was carried out. The assignment was concluded during November. After the Greenland assignment, Loke Viking started a charter for the Statoil oil company in the Barents Sea.

Through to December, Tor Viking was employed off Alaska with towing and anchor handling of an arctic oil drilling rig for the Shell oil company. Tor Viking was involved in a dramatic rescue mission in December. A fully loaded panamax bulk carrier was in distress off the coast of Alaska. As a result of good seamanship, the Tor Viking was able to save the vessel and tow it into port. After conclusion of the assignment for Shell in Alaska, Tor Viking returned to the North Sea through the Northern Sea Route (north of Siberia's coast). Tor Viking's passage so late in the season could provide new opportunities for late transit of offshore units through the so-called Northeast Passage.

After the Greenland assignment, the Balder Viking operated in a weak offshore market and thereafter was called in by the Swedish Maritime Administration for icebreaking in the Baltic Sea at the end of December. After Greenland, the Vidar Viking operated in a weak spot market – a market characterized by an excess of tonnage. Odin Viking remains employed with a long-term offshore assignment off Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The contract runs through to the second half of 2011. Brazil is sharply increasing its focus on oil recovery offshore and Odin Viking's contract represents a favorable positioning in this market.

The other vessel in the series, Njord Viking, was delivered from the shipyard at the beginning of February and the remaining two vessels are scheduled for delivery during 2011/2012.

October-December Full-year Offshore/Icebreaking 1) 2010 2009 2010 2009 Net revenue 155 18 298 125 Profit/loss after net financial items 21 -21 45 -25 Profit margin 14% -116% 15% -20%

The business area posted operating profit of SEK 45 M (loss: 25) for the full year.

1) As of September 2010, the business area is 100% owned (formerly 50%), which disrupts comparison between the periods. Revenues and earnings in the fourth quarter would have amounted to SEK 76 M and SEK 17 M, respectively, if the ownership interest was 50% as in the preceding year.

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 as well as RoRo services across the Atlantic and with side port vessels traffic along the US east costSea (Bulk/Atlantic 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. In traffic in southern Finland, the TransSuomi Line, earnings improved as a result of a tonnage reduction of one vessel on the route. Volumes during the quarter were stable, with cars shipped for Volvo continuing to increase. However, due to production stops during the Christmas holidays at StoraEnso's paper mills and Volvo's plants, the year ended weakly.

Traffic in TransFeeder North increased with port calls in Mäntyluota and Gothenburg aimed at raising the degree of utilization. Renegotiated T/C leases had a positive impact on earnings.

The Container Division conducts container-based scheduled service in the UK (TransPal Line) and feeder traffic (TransFeeder South). At TransPal Line, the fourth quarter was characterized by increased volumes. A volume increase was noted for the quarter as well as on a full-year basis. This was primarily as a result of a recovery in the steel industry, which was reflected in the volume increase. In terms of earnings, the fourth quarter was the best during the year despite operational disruptions caused by weather and tidal problems. In TransFeeder South, volumes remained at stable levels. For some of the quarter, capacity problems led to increased operating costs. Additional project cargoes generated positive earnings effects.

In the Bulk/Atlantic Division, smaller tonnage vessels were affected adversely by the economic challenges within the EU and an increase in supply of tonnage, and consequently, have been chartered from and including year-end 2010 for a 12-month period. As a result of the depreciated US dollar, westbound flows for the larger bulk tonnage were affected negatively, resulting in depressed freight rates from Europe to North America.

Westbound traffic with newsprint across the Atlantic declined during the second half of the quarter after the vessels posting a high degree of utilization during the first nine months of the year. The volume decline was attributable partly to high paper inventories in the US and a weak US dollar. Container rates continued to increase in the transatlantic traffic during the quarter, which strengthened our competitiveness with regard to other transport modes. Eastbound traffic with newsprint remained low due to the depressed price situation in Europe for newsprint.

Industrial Shipping posted an operating loss of SEK 105 M (loss: 140) for the full year.

Group organization/ Ship Management

The central Group organization comprises management, as well as central administration, finance management and external Ship Management. The external Ship Management unit includes assignments for external vessel owners as well as manning for the Swedish Government's five icebreakers. Cooperation with the Swedish Maritime Administration provides TransAtlantic a broader market offering within the Offshore/Icebreaking business area, particularly in the focus on arctic offshore. The primary reason for accepting external assignments is to achieve economies of scale for shipboard employees and for purchases undertaken for the Group's fleet of vessels. TransAtlantic terminated its cooperation with Atlantic Container Line (ACL) within Ship Management on December 1, 2010. A resource realignment was implemented and all the affected shipboard personnel were transferred to the new employer. Earning changes is mainly attributable to increased interest and bank carges.

Operating earnings for the full-year amounted to a loss of SEK 61 M (loss 48).

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 deferred tax liability for the Swedish operations amounted to SEK 40 M at the end of December 2010 (-87 at December 31, 2009).

The deferred tax liability, for the operations outside Sweden amounted to SEK 43 M at December 2010 (–54 at the end of December 2009).

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 on page 44 in TransAtlantic's 2009 Annual Report.

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 315 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 2.3 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.

New and amended accounting policies in 2010.

Revised IFRS 3 Business Combinations and amended IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Statements have been applied in connection with the acquisitin and divestment of operations from 2010. This means, for example, that the share formerly owned was revalued at fair value, which resulted in effects on the vessel carrying amounts of SEK 444 M, customer contracts of negative SEK 25 M and deferred tax of negative SEK 12 M, totaling SEK 407 M, which is recorded among "Other operating revenue".

Not 1 Acquisition of Trans Viking

The acquisition was financed by way of newly issued shares in TransAtlantic, of which 1,817,961 Series A shares and 25,907,715 Series B shares, totaling 27,725,676 new shares.

The acquisition includes shares and participations in:

Country Business area No. of employees
Norge Offshore & Icebreaking None
Norge Offshore & Icebreaking None
Sverige Offshore & Icebreaking None
Sverige Offshore & Icebreaking None
Sverige Offshore & Icebreaking None

The reason for the acquisition is that the Group, as a result of this transaction, will become the sole owner of Trans Viking, providing Transatlantic full access to the operation's cash flow and the opportunity to optimize control of the business and coordinate it with its concept of artic offshore. The transaction also strengthens the Group's financial position and enhances transparency of the Group structure.

The final acquisition value has been set at SEK 665 M calculated on a share price of SEK 24.00 SEK per share at September 22, 2010, which was the date on which the controlling interest of the acquired company was transferred to Transatlantic. The fair value of the acquired net assets in the above-mentioned company amounted to SEK 1,035 M according to the periodic statement dated September 22, 2010, which meant a gain from a bargain purchase (so-called negative goodwill of SEK 370 M). This difference arises because the payment for the acquisition, shares of TransAtlantic, which was valued at less than net asset value

In accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combinations, applied from 2010, previously owned shares are remeasured at fair value, thereby impacting the recognized value of vessels and customer contracts.

Earnings relating to the acquired shares were included in the consolidated accounts from the date of acquisition on September 22, 2010. Earnings and net revenues from the date of acquisition amounted to SEK M 15 resp. SEK 4 M (meaning the eight days). If the acquired operation had been wholly owned from the beginning of the year, the Group's net revenues would have been SEK 155 M higher, and consolidated earnings would have been SEK 10 M lower.
