LHV Institutional Baltic Insight, February 14th, 2022
* Tallinna Sadam (TSM1T ET) announced in tandem with Tallink Group (TAL1T ET) that these two companies have reached a compromise agreement, which ends the court dispute started in March 2021 over the port fees of passenger vessels at the Old City Harbour.* TAL is the largest customer of TSM’s passenger harbours’ segment and, in our view, it is generally positive that the parties reached an agreement regarding the port fees and can terminate the respective court dispute. However, the agreement has clearly negative implications on the revenues and profitability of TSM going forward, with the respective relative impact being larger than the positive influence on TAL’s cost base.
