Title
AS Tallink Grupp nõude suurendamine ASi Tallinna Sadam vastu sadamatasude kohtuvaidluses
Message
Harju Maakohtu 22.12.2021 määrusega võeti menetlusse ASi Tallink Grupp (edaspidi: ?Tallink") 02.08.2021 esitatud täiendav nõue ASi Tallinna Sadam (edaspidi: ?Tallinna Sadam") vastu summas 5,5 mln eurot (lisanduvad viivised) 2016. aastal makstud sadamatasu osalise tagastamise või, alternatiivselt, tekitatud kahju hüvitamiseks ning nõuded liideti tsiviilasjaga 2-21-3181. Kohtuvaidluse põhinõuete summa pärast liitmist on kokku 20,9 mln eurot (lisanduvad viivised). Esialgne Tallinki nõue puudutas aastatel 2017, 2018 ja 2019 Tallinki makstud sadamatasusid Tallinna Vanasadamas, määrusega laiendati nõuet ka 2016. aastal makstud sadamatasudele. Tallinna Sadama hinnangul on Tallinki esitatud nõue väidetavalt ebaõiglaste sadamatasude hüvitamiseks põhjendamatu ning Tallinna Sadam kavatseb seista ettevõtte jätkusuutlikkuse ja oma aktsionäride huvide eest. Täpsemalt on vaidluse kohta lugeda Tallinna Sadama 15.04.2021 börsiteatest (https://view.news.eu.nasdaq.com/view?id=beecd4c37bfe9c817308365629a13e93e&lang= et) ja 01.03.2021 börsiteates (https://view.news.eu.nasdaq.com/view?id=b113fdc182500dd7410f83bd72ae34500&lang= et)t. Tallinna Sadama finantstulemustele Tallinki hagi otsest mõju ei avalda, kuna Tallinna Sadama juhatus hindab nõuet alusetuks ning nõude katteks ei ole reservi moodustatud. Tallinna Sadamale kuulub üks Läänemere suurimaid kauba- ja reisisadamate komplekse, mida läbib aastas keskmiselt 10 miljonit reisijat ja 20 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 2020. a müügitulu oli 107,4 miljonit eurot, korrigeeritud EBITDA 58,4 miljonit eurot ning kasum 28,5 miljonit eurot.

Title
Increase of the amount of AS Tallink Grupp claim against AS Tallinna Sadam in a court dispute in port dues
Message
On 22 December 2021, Harju County Court stared the proceedings on an additional claim filed by AS Tallink Grupp (hereinafter: "Tallink") on 02.08.2021 against AS Tallinna Sadam (hereinafter: "Tallinna Sadam") in the amount of EUR 5.5 million (plus accrued interest) for partial reimbursement of the port dues unduly received or, alternatively, for compensation of damages paid in 2016; and the claims were joined to the civil case 2-21-3181. The total amount of the claim in the litigation after aggregation is EUR 20.9 million (plus accrued interest). The initial claim of Tallink concerned the port dues paid by Tallink in Tallinn Old City Harbour in 2017, 2018 and 2019, the court ruling extended the claim to the port dues paid in 2016 as well. In the opinion of Tallinna Sadam, the claim filed by Tallink for compensation of allegedly unfair port dues is unreasonable and Tallinna Sadam intends to stand up for the sustainability of the company and the interests of its shareholders. More detailed information about the dispute can be found in the stock exchange announcements of Tallinna Sadam published on 15.04.2021 (https://view.news.eu.nasdaq.com/view?id=beecd4c37bfe9c817308365629a13e93e&lang= en) and 01.03.2021 (https://view.news.eu.nasdaq.com/view?id=b113fdc182500dd7410f83bd72ae34500&lang= en). The claim does not have a direct impact on the financial results of Tallinna Sadam, as the management board of Tallinna Sadam considers the claim unjustified and no reserve has been formed to cover the claim. Tallinna Sadam is one of the largest cargo- and passenger port complexes in the Baltic Sea region, which serves annually 10 million passengers and 20 million tons of cargo in average. 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. The group's sales in 2020 totalled EUR 107.4 million, adjusted EBITDA EUR 58.4 million and profit EUR 28.5 million.
