Rederiaktiebolaget Eckerö Q2 2024 financial results

Rederiaktiebolaget Eckerö had a turnover EUR 63.3 million (EUR 62.8 million) in the second quarter of 2024. Operating profit was EUR 6.9 million (EUR 11.9 million). Adjusted for the sale of EXPORTER in June 2023, operating profit in the comparative period was EUR 8.1 million. The result for the accounting period was EUR 5.0 million (EUR 6.9 million).

859,172 passengers travelled on the company's ships, which was 3% less than in the same period last year (882,209). A major reason for the lower number of passengers during the second quarter of the year is that the Easter weekend, which is a popular travel time, fell in March 2024 (in 2023 Easter fell in April). The number of freight units was 49,309, which is 11% more than in the same period last year (44,326).

Gotlandsbolaget quarterly report January-June 2024

Revenues amounted to SEK 604.1 million (564.2) for Gotlandsbolaget in the April-June 2024 period. The costs amounted to SEK -562.4 million (-555.9). The changes compared to the previous year are primarily a consequence of services performed for Gotland Alandia Cruises, which affect both income and costs as well as higher income in the Gotland traffic. Adjusted operating profit amounted to SEK 27.3 million (8.3). The improvement is mainly due to stronger results in the Gotland traffic. The result is also still negatively affected by the share in Gotland Alandia Cruises.
