Announcement from Eimskip
The Icelandic District Prosecutor has been
granted an authorization to exercise a dawn raid at the offices of
Eimskipafélag Íslands hf. and Eimskip Ísland ehf. The Prosecutor
has asked for specific documents relating to the sale of the
vessels Goðafoss and Laxfoss in 2019 which the Environment Agency
of Iceland reported to the District Prosecutor in 2020. No
individuals have a legal status in the matter. The Company is now
working on gathering requested information.
As stated in announcements from the Company on
25.9.2020 and 30.9.2020, the Company believes that it complied with
laws and regulations in the sales process. Eimskip takes the matter
seriously as the Company, its management, and employees place great
emphasis on social responsibility in their work and have long paid
attention to environmental issues in their operations.
Eimskip has been informed that the investigation
relates to whether the Act. No. 55/2003 on treatment of waste and
subsequent regulations have been infringed. It is impossible for
the Company to estimate possible financial affects as the Act
contains sanctions provisions without stating any specific amounts.
The only amount referenced in the Act relates to the Icelandic
Environmental Agency’s authority to apply administrative fines
towards legal entities amounting up to ISK 25 million.
Eimskip will diligently provide all the
information requested by the Icelandic District Prosecutor.
