Where Ferry revenues are down only 12% in 1H20 and Air only -18.7% YoY, Bus revenues is actually up 1% in 1H20 due to star-up in Sweden and new contracts in Norway. Moreover, with cost initiatives implemented, the blended EBITDA margin is set to decline only 1.2pp from 14.1% to 12.9%.

  • Norway Norway Is Considered the Most Scenic Country in Scandinavia and Offers a Wide Range of Land- Scapes
    Crossing Longfjell Bridge over Eidfjord Norway Norway is considered the most scenic country in Scandinavia and offers a wide range of land- scapes. Mighty glaciers created over millions of years numerous deep fjords and bays, so water will be our constant companion on the tour. More than ten times we are crossing by ferry one of the picturesque fjords and pass hundreds of water- falls and raging rivers. Again and again it goes from sea level up to the fells, as the plateaus of Norway are called. Dense forests are also on the program as one or the other island and skerry along the coast. Dozens of tunnels are carved in the rock, including the Laerdalstunnelen, with nearly 25 km the world’s longest road tunnel. With the Holmenkollen we visit the Mecca of the Nordic winter sports and cross Telemark, in this county the skiing was invented over 150 years ago. At Norway’s most famous waterfall Vor- ingsfossen we spend a night, over 180 meters the water plunges into the depths. And the Gei- rangerfjord and Norway’s best known mountain road Trollstigvegen are other musts on the tour before we are back in Oslo.

Kritikk av Vestnes kommune Naturvernforbundet ønsker også å rette kraftig kritikk til Vestnes kommune. Naturvernforbundet mener det er svært ille at Vestnes kommune har unndratt viktige dokumenter fra offentligheten, og derved forsøkt å skjule miljøskadelig forurensing for innbyggerne i kommunen (vedlegg 1 og vedlegg 2).
