In 2023, 68.3% of Eimskip's revenue came from liner services, while 31.7% came from forwarding services. The division of EBITDA in 2023 was 74.0% from liner services and 26.0% from forwarding services. The geographical division of revenue showed a decreasing share of Iceland-related business, contributing 40.3% of total revenue.
Liner EBITDA is EUR 91.3m in 2023 compared to EUR 119.5 in previous year, the decrease mainly driven by significant drop in Trans-Atlantic rates compared to previous year, less volume in Trans-Atlantic and generally lower margins in container- and reefer liner.
Forwarding EBITDA is EUR 32.1 in 2023 compared to EUR 43.6m in previous year when global freight rates were still on an elevated level.
