News

Friday 12th of February, the Supreme Court awarded in favor of the shipping companies that the retroactive tax imposed in 2007 for the years 1996-2006 was in breach of the Norwegian Constitution.
 

The effect for Odfjell will be an increase in the equity of about USD 110 million, including refund of about USD 27 million already paid taxes and interest. Our 2010 interest cost on the tax debt will be reduced by about USD 5 million.

In an industry hard pressed by recessionary times this was most welcome news.
