Why are the price rises coming now?
The price of oil has fluctuated a great deal during the last year, and because of this we have chosen to wait as long as possible before introducing a surcharge. But now we find that the price of oil has stabilised at a high level. It is no longer possible for us to absorb the higher fuel costs by making savings in other places. It is absolutely crucial for a service company such as ours to be able to ensure the company healthy finances to enable the necessary development of our ships, our services and what we can offer our customers.
