Title
AS ESTEVE kohtuvaidluse lõppemine Vanasadama sildumisteenuse lepingu lõpetamise osas
Message
ASil Tallinna Sadam (edaspidi: ?Tallinna Sadam") on kolm omavahel seotud kohtuvaidlust ASiga ESTEVE (edaspidi: ?ESTEVE"), millest üks lõppes 07.09.2020. Vaidluste sisu on täpsemalt kirjeldatud Tallinna Sadama 17.01.2020 avaldatud börsiteates (https://cns.omxgroup.com/cdsPublic/viewDisclosure.action?disclosureId=918288&me ssageId=1157182). Harju Maakohtus on menetluses ESTEVE ASi poolt 19.12.2019 esitatud hagi (edaspidi: ?hagi 1") Tallinna Sadama vastu Vanasadama ja Paldiski Lõunasadama sildumisteenuste lepingute väidetavalt alusetust ennetähtaegsest lõpetamisest tekkinud saamata jäänud tulu hüvitamiseks kokku summas 379 768 eurot, millele lisanduvad viivised. Hagi 1 põhineb ESTEVE poolt Harju Maakohtule 26.08.2016 esitatud hagiavaldusel (edaspidi: ?hagi 2") Paldiski Lõunasadama ja 29.08.2016 esitatud hagiavaldusel (edaspidi: ?hagi 3") Vanasadama sildumisteenuste lepingute kehtivuste tuvastamise nõudes, kuna ESTEVE ei nõustunud lepingute Tallinna Sadama poolse erakorralise ennetähtaegse ülesütlemisega pidades seda põhjendamatuks. 15.01.2020 võttis Tallinna Ringkonnkohus hagi 3 osas vastu otsuse, kus jättis ESTEVE hagiavalduse Tallinna Sadama vastu Vanasadama sildumisteenuste lepingu kehtivuse tuvastamise nõudes rahuldamata ja kohtukulud ESTEVE kanda. ESTEVE kaebas nimetatud otsuse kassatsiooni korras edasi Riigikohtusse. 07.09.2020 otsustas Riigikohtu tsiviilkolleegium jätta kassatsioonkaebus menetlusse võtmata ning sellega on vaidlus hagi 3 osas lõppenud. Hagi 1 kogusummast (379 768 eurot) on hagiga 3 ehk Vanasadamas osutatud sildumisteenustega seotud 226 293 eurot. Hetkel on hagi 1 osas menetlus peatatud. Hagi 2 on jätkuvalt Harju Maakohtu menetluses. Tallinna Sadama on ESTEVE hagidega seotud võimaliku hüvitisnõude katteks alates 2017. aastast moodustanud kulureservi. Seoses hagi 3 vaidluse lõppemisega tühistab Tallinna Sadam 2020. a III kvartalis hagi 3 eeldatud mõju ulatuses varasemalt moodustatud kulureservi. Tallinna Sadamale kuulub üks Läänemere suurimaid kauba- ja reisisadamate komplekse, mida läbis 2019. a 10,64 miljonit reisijat ja 19,9 miljonit tonni kaupa. Lisaks reisijate ja kaubavedude teenindamisele tegutseb ettevõte laevanduse ärivaldkonnas läbi oma tütarettevõtete - OÜ TS Laevad korraldab parvlaevaühendust Eesti mandri ja suursaarte vahel ning OÜ TS Shipping osutab multifunktsionaalse jäämurdjaga Botnica jäämurde ja konstruktsioonilaeva teenust Eestis ja offshore projektides. Tallinna Sadama gruppi kuulub ka jäätmekäitlusega tegelev sidusettevõte AS Green Marine. Kontserni 2019. a müügitulu oli 130,5 miljonit eurot, korrigeeritud EBITDA 74,3 miljonit eurot ning puhaskasum 44,4 miljonit eurot.

Title
End of the litigation with AS ESTEVE regarding the termination of the Old City Harbour mooring service agreement
Message
AS Tallinna Sadam (hereinafter: "Tallinna Sadam") has three related legal disputes with AS ESTEVE (hereinafter: "ESTEVE"), one of which ended on 07.09.2020. The content of the disputes is described in more detail in the stock exchange announcement (https://cns.omxgroup.com/cdsPublic/viewDisclosure.action?disclosureId=918288&me ssageId=1157183) published by Tallinna Sadam on 17.01.2020. The Harju County Court is processing the claim filed by ESTEVE AS on 19.12.2019 (hereinafter: "Claim 1") against Tallinna Sadam for compensation of the loss of revenue due to the alleged unjustified early termination of the Old City Harbour and Paldiski South Harbour mooring services contracts in the amount of EUR 379,768 plus accrued interest. Claim 1 is based on the claims filed by ESTEVE to the Harju County Court to establish the validity of the mooring service contracts; the claim filed on 26.08.2016 (hereinafter: "Claim 2") concerning Paldiski South Harbor and the claim filed on 29.08.2016 (hereinafter: "Claim 3") concerning the Old City Harbour, as ESTEVE did not agree to the extraordinary early termination of the agreements by Tallinna Sadam, considering it unreasonable. On 15.01.2020, the Tallinn Circuit Court decided on Claim 3 by dismissing the claim filed by ESTEVE Tallinna Sadam concerning establishing the validity of the Old City Harbour mooring services agreement and ordered ESTEVE to pay the court fees. ESTEVE appealed in cassation to the Supreme Court. On 07.09.2020, the Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court decided not to accept the cassation appeal and therefore the dispute regarding Claim 3 has ended. Out of the total amount of Claim 1 (EUR 379,768), EUR 226,293 is related to Claim 3, i.e. mooring services provided in the Old City Harbour. At present, the proceedings concerning Claim 1 are suspended. The proceedings of Claim 2 are still ongoing in the Harju County Court. Since 2017, Tallinna Sadam has formed a reserve to cover a possible claim related to ESTEVE's claims. In connection with the termination of the dispute of Claim 3, Tallinna Sadam shall cancel the previously formed reserve in the third quarter of 2020 to the extent of the expected effect of Claim 3. Tallinna Sadam is one of the largest cargo- and passenger port complexes in the Baltic Sea region, which in 2019 serviced 10.64 million passengers and 19.9 million tons of cargo. In addition to passenger and freight services, Tallinna Sadam group also operates in shipping business via its subsidiaries - OÜ TS Laevad provides ferry services between the Estonian mainland and the largest islands, and OÜ TS Shipping charters its multifunctional vessel Botnica for icebreaking and construction services in Estonia and offshore projects abroad. Tallinna Sadam group is also a shareholder of an associate AS Green Marine, which provides waste management services. According to audited financial results, Tallinna Sadam group's sales in 2019 totaled EUR 130.5 million, adjusted EBITDA EUR 74.3 million and net profit EUR 44.4 million.
