Viking Line ABP revised earnings forecast for the year 2017. Competition in Viking Line’s service area entails continued pressure on prices and volumes. A revision in Finland’s restitution law for 2017 is expected to have a positive effect on consolidated income. Overall, taking into account the results for peak season 2017, operating income for 2017 is expected to be on a par with operating income for 2016. The Board of Director's previous view was that operating income would improve compared to operating income for 2016.
