Finnlines informs

Finnlines Plc	Stock Exchange Release  June 18, 2007

FINNLINES INFORMS

Since 24 May 2007, the operations at the terminals of Lübecker
Hafengesellschaft in Lübeck harbours have been suffering from actions of the
dock workers' union. 
The reason is the union's protest against the planned privatisation of Lübecker
Hafengesellschaft. 

As a consequence of this protest, all overtime work has been stopped.
 
On Friday 15 June,2007 there was a total strike
for 24 hours. Further union actions are to be expected.

The port of Lübeck/Travemünde is the most important 
port in Finnlines traffic, as it is the other end
of our ropax routes from Helsinki, Malmö (NordöLink) and
St. Petersburg (TransRussiaExpress).

These disturbances, which are beyond Finnlines control,  may affect Finnlines
operating profit negatively.
