"2021 saw another year of exceptional operating challenges as the world came to understand and adapt to the enormity of the Covid-19 pandemic and, consequently, we experienced industry circumstances beyond our control," the firm explains.
Total order book increases by 3% to EUR55.4 million from EUR53.8 million.
"2021 was the most challenging trading environment the group has experienced as a result of the continued pandemic-related restrictions, ongoing supply chain shortages and the disruption from the administration of the Nobiskrug shipyard, which we are pleased to have now resolved with the new owner," Chief Executive Remy Millott comments.
Throughout 2022, the company aims to reduce operational risks by, among others, launching "an SAP provided enterprise resource planning system integrating all global business areas" and " providing a powerful analytics tool for management," the company says.
