Planned 71.5 days
Unplanned 110.5 days
  • Normal planned off-hire during a year ~100 days (7 dry dockings)
  • Bunker price increase during the quarter led to reduced margins

> Anti trust investigation

  • 30 July, Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics (WWL), owned 50% by Wilh.Wilhelmsen ASA, reached a settlement agreement with the Competition Commission in South Africa.
  • If the settlement is confirmed by the Competition Tribunal of South Africa, WWL will pay an administrative penalty in the amount of R95 695 529 (approx. USD 7.7 million).
  • WWL made an accrual for the penalty in the fourth quarter 2014. WWASA's 50% share of the fine will therefore not have an accounting effect in 2015.

Based on the market outlook, the WWASA board expects seasonally lower auto volumes and continued soft high and heavy volumes in the second half of 2015.

Logistics activities are anticipated to be on par with the first half of 2015.
