20.5.2008: Hurtigruten considers major shift of focus to stop losses
Hurtigruten, the Norwegian company best known for its daily service between Bergen and Kirkenes plus destinational cruises, is planning a drastic revision of its business to stem continued losses. A shareholders meeting on 15 May discussed options for the company, whose net losses deepened to NOK167 million last year from NOK136 million in 2006. The company may sell its coach and local ferry operations and focus on the shipping business that comprises 11 vessels of about 10,000 to 12,000 gross tons each. Hurtigruten was formed through the merger of Ofotens og Vesteraalens DS and Troms Fylkes DS in 2005 in a move to boost the efficience of the business. However, despite various efforts by the management to put an end to the losses, this has not happened.
