Smyril Line tror på ny vækst

På trods af den finansielle krise tror færøske Smyril Line på vækst i årene fremover på både passager- og fragtsiden. Ifølge rederiets adm. direktør Peter Holm, er selskabet kommet styrket ud af 2008, og vurderet ud fra forhåndsbookingerne ser 2009 også fornuftig.

Det færøske rederi har gennem flere år ligget underdrejet grundet dårlig økonomi og for stor spredning i ruteoplæg til bl.a. Shetlandsøerne og Bergen i Norge.

I 2008 gennemførte rederiet en omfattende turn around bakket op af det potentielle investorer. Smyril Line fik samtidig en ny direktion og en bestyrelse under formandskab af den tidligere administrerende direktør i rederiet Torm, Klaus Kjærulff.

Det nye lederskab har strømlinet rederiet og har forenklet ruteoplægget så der nu, i 9 af årets 12 måneder, sejles hver lørdag mellem Esbjerg, Tórshavn og Seydisfjordur på Island. I højsæsonen, juni, juli og august, sejles der i stedet for Esbjerg til Hanstholm. Sidstnævnte sker for at Norröna kan nå en dobbelttur pr. uge.

Tidligere var Hanstholm fast anløbshavn for Smyril Line året rundt, men anløbet af Esbjerg det meste af året, betyder nye og større muligheder for at nå de europæiske storbyer, herunder København, inden for en rimelig rejsetid.
