In cases in which loan financing of investment projects is paid directly to the shipyard/supplier and does not pass through the company’s/Group’s cash balance, the investment amount is recognized in the cash-flow statement as a net amount after deductions for financing. The recognized investment fee therefore comprises the company’s cash payment.
The acquisition/divestment of shares in subsidiaries is recognized in the consolidated accounts as purchase amounts paid/received less cash and cash equivalents in the acquired/divested subsidiary at the date of acquisition/divestment.
