Orders for cargo handling equipment for offshore support vessels accounted for almost half of MacGregor's orders, and orders for the business area as a whole rose by 67 percent on the comparison period. Hiab's orders reached the level of the comparison period. Volumes in the marine cargo handling market are lower than last year, which is reducing our sales. Favourable trends were seen in both Kalmar and Hiab's delivery volumes and profitability during the second quarter. We are continuing our efforts to improve our profitability. In July, we took an important strategic step in MacGregor's development by signing an agreement to acquire Hatlapa. Hatlapa supports MacGregor's growth strategy and will help MacGregor to become a global leader in winches for various ship types.
