Royal Arctic Line apologizes for the mess

"We're remodeling. Sorry about the mess." According to Royal Arctic Line, the carrier would have done right to put up such a sign after a first half of 2017 that brought numerous problems related to a large-scale overhaul taking place at the carrier. Meanwhile the bottom line shows a loss after taxes of DKK 28 million. However, the carrier can celebrate that major customer Royal Greenland told ShippingWatch this week that it supported the long-term strategy for sailing to and from Greenland.
