On October 8, the board of directors of Hurtigruten ASA decided to
continue the action plan with main objective to improve the
company`s financial situation. A programme of 150 MNOK in annual
savings from reduced sales- and administration overheads was
approved. At the same time the board approved to lay up two ships in
the Hurtigruten fleet, if the outcome of the negotiations with the
Norwegian government concerning the `Hurtigruten Agreement `
does not secure a full 11 ships fleet in operation by November 1,
2008."
