Contracted remaining investment commitments in the Group that are not recognized in the balance sheet are attributable to four anchor-handling vessels under construction within the Offshore/Icebreaking business area. The remaining commitment on the closing date amounted to SEK 752 M (1,113).
The Group leases vessels, buildings and equipment through leasing agreements.
Operational leasing mainly entails the leasing of vessels on a bareboat or T/C basis, for which contract periods and leasing terms are different for each vessel. The largest contracts pertain to the leasing of three vessels, the TransWood, TransPine and TransHawk, formerly owned by TransAtlantic Group on a bareboat basis, with a remaining contract period of six years, and leasing of paper-transport vessels TransPaper, TransPulp and TransTimber, which operate on time charter for StoraEnso, for which there is a remaining contract period of about 12 years. The Group is thereafter entitled to redeem the vessels at their market value. In January 2009, a three-year time-charter agreement was signed for the RoRo vessels Vikingland, Thyrusland and Stena Forteller for the newly started line “TransSuomi Line.” There are no purchase options pertaining to these vessels.
Financial leasing comprises the leasing of vessels and containers used in the Industrial Shipping business area, where the largest undertaking involves the three vessels Obbola, Östrand and Örtviken. These vessels are leased on a bareboat basis and are leased by the Group on a timecharter contract to SCA Transforest AB. Both agreements apply through 2011 and were signed in EUR. On completion of the contract, the Group has the right to redeem the vessels at their residual value.
Operational leasing revenues comprise vessels leased on a bareboat basis and timecharter contracts with SCA and StoraEnso (see above).
At December 31, 2009, the number of vessels leased by the Group was 20 (19 at Dec. 31, 2008) and the number of vessels leased to others was 11 (nine).
