Commenting on the latest market developments, Emanuele Grimaldi dwelt on the consequences of the war- Russia-Ukraine: "this - he noted - has an impact on the entire EU economy and could probably slow down also the Finnish economy. We - Grimaldi recalled - have stopped our ships operating to and from Russia in the context EU sanctions. Russian traffic - he specified - does not represents a significant share of our turnover, which is was well compensated by our other lines. In the first quarter - emphasized Grimaldi - the volumes on each of our others lines in which we operate have increased and it is expected that this positive development of goods will continue."
