– Atlantic traffic basically followed the same market pattern as European traffic.

– For large tonnage in Asian traffic, the freight market was relatively weak during essentially the entire second quarter.

Outlook 2008

• The market improvement – primarily for large tonnage – that took place at the end of the second quarter continued into the third quarter of 2008.

• Broström's strategic position for 2008 and onward has been strengthened through acquisitions and investments made in recent years.

• The trend in transport for the years immediately ahead in Broström's market segment is currently difficult to judge.

• A large volume of new tonnage will be added to the market.

• The high price of oil has brought about a greater urgency to reduce dependency on oil and growth forecasts for oil consumption have been adjusted downward.

• Broström believes that major fluctuations will take place from period to period in both transport volume and freight rates.
