President's statement for the January to June 2010 period

The Global Economy during 2010 has had a positive development, but there are big differences in different continents. This difference has led to the demand of freights has become more differentiated between different areas of sale. Asia is still a strong market with rising volumes, USA has a rising demand, but Europe has had a continued weak economic development. The development was disturbed during the second quarter where the fi nancial crisis in the Euro-countries led to further tensing of the area.

Within the segments where TransAtlantic operates, we have been noticing a general increase of demand. Many of our clients ship more cargo today, than last year. But the condition and development are different for different areas. We can gladly see the development for business area Offshore/Icebreaking has been good. For the fi rst time all our vessels are out chartered on long term contracts, furthermore four of them operate in the Arctic, which we believe is the future. Our new building Loke Viking went directly to Greenland in the end of May, after her christening, to begin her contract. When completing this contract, she will begin a new charter for Statoil, in the Barents Sea. This is extra interesting since the design of our vessels, which are under construction, are made for the conditions in the Barents Sea.

The Tor Viking was temporarily held back by Obama's decision to stop all oil exploitation in U.S. waters, after the accident in the Gulf of Mexico, although now she is on her way to Alaska for other missions. We are looking closely to the development around the accident and its future consequences. In the short-term this will probably mean that some deepwater offshore projects will be postponed, especially in the North American waters. So far no other countries have stopped this type of activities, even if they are following the development closely. In the long-term we think the accident will lead to a larger focus on safety and environment issues, around the offshore activities, which is positive for us since we have a high ambition for our own safety- and environment issues.

The development within business area Industrial Shipping is a refl ection of the development of the global economy. Many of our clients are shipping larger volumes this year than last year, but they are shipping to markets outside Europe. This has been clear for the forest industries, which have increased their shipments to Asia and the U.S., under the fi rst six months year. This development has lead to problems with our fi lling degree, for some of our inter-European lines. As a result of this, we have an agreement with StoraEnso to reduce our timetable for TransSuomi Line, and temporarily restore one vessel, which will lead to a signifi cant cost reduction for our traffi c during the second half this year.

The task to suit our costs in relation to the market situation continues. We will return or renegotiate four vessels this fall, which will benefi t our Atlantic- and container traffi c.

Our strategy to change the structure for some of our areas will intensify during the second half this year. This, together with the market work for fi nding new market areas, will lead to a stronger competitiveness for TransAtlantic.

Stefan Eliasson Acting President and CEO

Consolidated earnings for January–June

Consolidated net revenues amounted to SEK 1,161 M (1,176). The decrease in reventues was due primarily to the Industrial Shipping business area.

Offshore/Icebreaking business area

These operations are conducted through the Norwegian joint venture company Trans Viking, in wich TransAtlantic owns 50% and the remaining 50% is owned by the Norwegian company, Viking Supply Ships AS. TransAtlantic is responsible for staffi ng, technical operations and safety, while Viking Supply Ships is responsible for marketing and freight. The fl eet comprises fi ve off shore vessels and three new bulding contracts scheduled for delivery in 2010–2011. Three of the existing off shore vessels are developed to cope with both icebreaking and off shore assignments.

The three combined AHTS vessels, which were called of for icebreaking in the Baltic Sea, at the beginning of this year, in accordance with the contract with The Swedish Maritime Administration. After the completed icebreaking the vessels have undergone routine shipyard calls. In combination with a weak offshore spot market, this lead to a negative result in the beginning of this period.

At the end of May the new built AHTS-Vessel Loke Viking, was delivered from Zamakona Shipyard, Bilbao Spain. She went directly in charter for the English oil company Capricorn. The mission assignment is to assist oil drilling west of Greenland. This mission also includes the AHTS-Vessels Vidar Viking and Balder Viking. The mission ranges to December 2010. After the Greenland mission Loke Viking has a charter for the oil company Statiol, in the Barents Sea.

Tor Viking has started her charter for the oil company Shell in Beaufort Sea and Chukchi Sea. The contract is over a two year period.

For Odin Viking a long-term contract has been signed for offshore duties in the sea outside Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The contract has been extended to the summer 2011. Brazil is steadily increasing their campaign for oil exploitation at sea, and Odin Vikings contract is a good positioning for this market.

This means that all fi ve AHTS-vessels are contracted for long-term charters at good rates and our investment on Arctic offshore shows results.

The construction work of another three anchor handling vessels continues. The second vessels in the series, Njord Viking, is expected to be delivered mid December 2010. The remaining two vessels, are expected to be delivered 2011.

The business area's operating loss for the fi rst six months amounted to SEK 10 M (profi t 3).

Industrial Shipping business area

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

The RoRo Baltic Division conducts scheduled operations between Finland and Sweden/Germany with two RoRo lines and one container line. The division also leases cargo space of StoraEnso in its systems taffi c, which serves ports in the Gulf of Bothnia. The volume trend was faborable for traffi c in northern Finland.

The traffi c in southern Finland, TransSuomi Line, has a continuing weak development with lower volumes from Finland in form of forest products. However the volumes have increased to Finland. During the third quarter there will be tonnage changes in southern Finland in order to increase the fi lling degree in the vessels and there by increasing the profi t. This is due to redelivery of one vessel.

The traffi c will receive additional tonnage in form of two chartered container vessels, which will traffi c the line between northern Finland and Hamburg/Bremerhafen. The rotation will expand with port calls to Gothenburg and Mäntyluato in Finland. The Time Charter Party has been extended for the RoRo-vessel TransReel, which steams in a set rotation in the Baltic Sea for the forest industy M-Real, till August 2012.

Division Container runs container based line traffi c to England, TransPal Line, and the feeder traffi c, TransFeeder South. Within TransPal Line the volumes and capacity utilization was high, because of the increased production in the Swedish steel industries.

In the segment TransFeeder South the freight rates are still on low levels, even if the capacity utilization has been high.

For Division Bulk/LoLo the freight volume continued to increase, but there is still a lack of balance in the freight fl oes. For the smaller bulk tonnage the supply of cargoes on southern routes was good, but the positioning trips back from Western Europe respective the Mediterranean was under price press.

In Division Atlanten har bound volumes have slightly increased during the second quarter. The increase of container rates for the destinations contributed to the positive change. The eastward bound paper volumes from Canada to Europe have stabilized on a low rate due to over capacity in Europe and the weak Euro.

The quantities within the USEC (US East Coast) is characterized by small volumes because of over production, large supplies and a continuing price press on newspaper. So far there aren't any indications of increasing volumes, but the demand has stabilized from a declining trend. The fl ow imbalances lead to that the fl eet's capacity is still in need of a reduction and that the fi lling capacity shall be prioritized. A vessel has been redelivered during the second quarter, and two additional will be redelivered at the end of the year.

The business area's operating loss for the fi rst six months amounted to SEK 78 M (loss: 64).

Group organization/ Ship Management

Group management comprises company management, cental administration, fi nance management and Ship Management. In addition to TransAtlantic's fl eet, the Ship Management unit includes assignments for external vessel owners. These are responsible for all operating costs, and TransAtlantic invoices actural expenses incurred and fess for operating the external vessels. The primary reason for accepting external assignments is to achieve economies of scale for shipboard employees and for purchases undertaken for the Group's fl eet of vessels.

Atlantic Container Line (ACL) has terminated the ship management mandate of its nine RoRo/Container vessels per December 2010. Termination of the agreement is not expected to pose any negative impact on earnings.

Earnings for the year were attributable to the company's administration costs.

Expenses for the fi rst six months amounted to SEK 27 M (expenses 19).

Other

Corporate tax

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

In January 2010, the Supreme Court in Norway declared void the nonrecurring tax expensed in 2007 in connection with the introduction of the new Norweigian tonnage tax regulation. The consequence of this rulings is that TransAtlantic can reverse an amount of SEK 65 M in its January–March interim report. A new law was adopted by the Norwegian Stortingent in June 18, 2010, which means that shipping companies to a reduced one-time tax, again given the opportunity to enter the new tonnage tax regulation. The tax consequences for TransAtlantic means a one-time tax of SEK 23 M.

An agreement for the acquisition of bareboat chartered vessels have been signed during the quarter. An assessment of the tax situation has been made, which meant that the group dissolved a tax reserve of SEK 78 M attributable to these vessels.

The recognized deferred tax liability for the Swedish operations amounted to SEK 16 M at the end of June 2010 (87 at December 31, 2009).

Transaktions with closely-related parties

No transactions took place between TransAtlantic and its closely related parties that had a signifi cant 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 fi nancial 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 2009 Annual Report, page 44. Due to the year unfavourable profi tability the company has held discussions with the banks on fi nancing terms and conditions. These discussions are partly closed, but the Group has not fi nally agreed terms with two of the concerned banks. Negotiations are expected to be fully completed in July.

Accounting policies

This interim report was prepared, for 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 Financial Statements have been applied in connection with the acquisition and divestment of operations from 2010.

Events after the close of the reporting period

A new contract has been signed with the oil company Statoil for the newly-built AHTS vessel Loke Viking. The contract runs until mid-2011 with an option of further extension. Acquisitions have been made by the owner companies for the three RoRo vessels, Ortviken, Östrand and Obbola. In connection with the acquisition the vessels were refi nanced which has meant that the Group's cash balance was reinforced by about SEK 200 M.
