Hurtigruten reports annual loss for 2012
On 20 February 2013, Hurtigruten published preliminary figures for the 2012 financial year: revenue rose to 3.5 billion Norwegian kroner, while the pre-tax loss increased to 301 million kroner. The previous year, the company had reported revenue of 3.3 billion kroner and a pre-tax loss of 157 million kroner.
Hurtigruten attributed the weaker booking trend to difficult European markets. In addition, weather-related cancellations and the fire aboard the MS Nordlys in September 2011 affected the annual result.
