GENERAL MARKET DEVELOPMENT                                                      

During the first half of the year, the market volumes have started to recover   
from the sharp drop experienced at the end of 2008 and beginning of 2009, but   
remain still on a relatively low level. Based on the statistics by the Finnish  
Maritime Administration (FMA), the Finnish seaborne imports carried in          
container, lorry and trailer units increased by 12% and exports by 8% during    
January-May 2010 compared to the previous year (measured in tons). According to 
the statistics published by Shippax, trailer and lorry volumes transported by   
sea between Southern Sweden and Germany decreased in January-May by 4% compared 
to 2009. During the same period, private and commercial passenger traffic       
between Finland and Germany increased by 5% and decreased between Finland and   
Sweden by 4% (FMA).                                                             


FINNLINES TRAFFIC                                                               

During the first quarter of the year, traffic was influenced by a number of     
external disturbances. Severe ice conditions in the northern parts of the Baltic
Sea, stevedores' overtime ban in Finnish ports and the 16-day stevedoring strike
in Finland all caused several temporary schedule changes, reroutings and        
stoppages. Especially the stevedores' strike had big impacts as practically all 
ro-ro traffic to and from Finnish ports was halted during the strike. By the end
of March, the situation normalised and the traffic returned to a normal pattern.
During the second quarter of 2010, the Company operated an average of 23 vessels
in its own traffic compared to 25 during the same period in 2009.               

The cargo volumes transported during January-June totalled approximately 313,000
(305,000 in 2009) units, 25,000 (18,000) cars (not including cars of the        
passengers) and, in addition, 960,000 (981,000) tons of freight not possible to 
measure in units. In addition, some 305,000 private and commercial passengers   
were transported (around 245,000), an increase of 25%. Compared to January-June 
of 2009, the number of private passengers (excluding lorry drivers) transported 
by the Company increased by 57%.                                                


PRODUCTIVITY                                                                    

At the end of 2009 the fleet capacity was adjusted to new market requirements   
both on number of ships as well as the correct allocation of tonnage in specific
trades.                                                                         

The average number of personnel has decreased by 4% during the first half of    
2010 compared to the same period of the previous year mainly due to temporary   
lay-offs in ports and personnel cuts in offices.                                
In 2009, the Group started a significant process to merge group companies and   
businesses. This process is continuing during 2010 and will result in a much    
leaner company structure, thus creating further savings in administration and   
personnel costs.                                                                


FINANCIAL RESULTS                                                               

April - June 2010                                                               

The Finnlines Group recorded revenue totalling EUR 152.8 million (124.4), an    
increase of 22.9% compared to the same period in 2009. Shipping and Sea         
Transport Services generated revenue amounting to EUR 138.9 million (111.5) and 
Port Operations EUR 21.5 million (18.7). The internal revenue between the       
segments was EUR 7.5 million (5.9).

29.2 million (15.0), an increase of 94.3%. Vessel lease expenses decreased by   
EUR 7.0 million. Other operating expenses totalled EUR -42.8 million (-51.5) and
included refund on harbour dues of EUR 2.6 million. The pending legal case      
relating to the unpaid part of harbour dues is commented in Chapter ‘Essential  
Changes in Legal Proceedings'.                                                  

Result before interest and taxes (EBIT) was EUR 14.4 million (-0.3). Financial  
income was EUR 1.6 million (0.4) and financial expenses totalled EUR -6.8       
million (-7.1). Result before taxes (EBT) was EUR 9.2 million (-7.1), an        
improvement of EUR 16.3 million compared to the same period in 2009. Earnings   
per share (EPS) were EUR 0.15 (-0.20).

January - June 2010

The Finnlines Group recorded revenue totalling EUR 274.4 million (241.8), an    
increase of 13.5% compared to the same period in 2009. Shipping and Sea         
Transport Services generated revenue amounting to EUR 249.8 million (214.8) and 
Port Operations EUR 36.3 million (38.9). The internal revenue between the       
segments was EUR 11.7 million (11.9).                                           

Result before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) was EUR   
45.3 million (14.9), an increase of 204.9%. Personnel expenses have decreased by
EUR 2.4 million and vessel lease expenses decreased by EUR 13.8 million. Other  
operating expenses totalled EUR -82.2 million (-105.7) and included EUR 3.1     
million (2.7) reimbursement of fairway dues and refund on harbour dues EUR 2.6  
million (See Chapter ‘Essential Changes in Legal Proceedings').                 

Result before interest and taxes (EBIT) was EUR 15.9 million (-16.4). Financial 
income was EUR 3.0 million (1.6) and financial expenses totalled EUR -13.4      
million (-18.9). Result before taxes (EBT) was EUR 5.4 million (-33.7), an      
improvement of EUR 39.1 million compared to the same period in 2009. Earnings   
per share (EPS) were EUR 0.08 (-0.71).

BALANCE SHEET, FINANCING AND CASH-FLOW                                          

Interest-bearing net debt decreased by EUR 19.3 million compared to the same    
period in 2009 and amounted to  EUR 828.9 million (848.2). The equity ratio     
calculated from the balance sheet was 29.5% (28.6) and gearing was 192.0%       
(192.6). Vessel lease commitments decreased by EUR 55.1 million from the end of 
June 2009 due to the redelivery of chartered tonnage.                           

At the end of the period, cash and deposits together with unused committed      
working capital credits and the undrawn part of committed credits for           
newbuildings amounted to EUR 177.6 million.                                     

In April 2009, Finnlines' subsidiary Hanseatic Shipping sold MS Finnhansa to    
Grimaldi Group at the market price of EUR 40 million with a call option to      
repurchase the vessel at the same price. This call option was exercised in April
2010. MS Finnhansa (renamed Transrussia) was bought in July by Finnlines        
Deutschland GmbH, after which she was delivered and started plying in           
TransRussiaExpress traffic.                                                     


CAPITAL EXPENDITURE                                                             

Gross capital expenditure in the review period totalled EUR 27.2 million (15.8),
and consists mainly of prepayments for newbuildings (EUR 11.8 million) and for  
Finnhansa vessel (EUR 10.0 million). Depreciation amounted to EUR 29.4 million  
(31.2). The holdings in associated companies have been reduced to zero due to   
the fact that Finnlines sold the associated company Simonaukion pysäköinti in   
April.                                                                          

The timetable of the 6 vessels under construction in China has been adapted to  
meet scheduled further redeliveries of the chartered tonnage. The new delivery  
times are: vessels Nos. 1 and 2 at the end of the first quarter of 2011, vessels
Nos. 3 and 4 during the fourth quarter of 2011, vessel No. 5 at the end of the  
third quarter 2012 and vessel No. 6 during the fourth quarter of 2012.          


PERSONNEL                                                                       

The Group employed an average of 2,048 (2,141) persons during the period,       
consisting of 1,116 (1,181) persons on shore and 932 (960) persons at sea. The  
average number of employees has been calculated by converting the regular       
working hours performed during the reporting period to correspond to a full-time
employee, and the average number of persons was recalculated accordingly for    
2009.                                                                           


DECISIONS TAKEN BY THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING                                   

The Annual General Meeting of Finnlines Plc approved the Financial Statements.  

The Meeting approved the Board of Directors' proposal not to pay any dividend.  

The Annual General Meeting decided that the Board of Directors shall have six   
members. The following were re-elected to the Board: Mr. Emanuele Grimaldi, Mr. 
Diego Pacella, Mr. Gianluca Grimaldi, Mr. Antti Pankakoski, Mr. Olav Rakkenes   
and Mr. Jon-Aksel Torgersen. The Board elected Mr. Emanuele Grimaldi Chairman   
and Mr. Diego Pacella Vice-Chairman.                                            

The firm of authorised public accountants Deloitte & Touche was appointed as the
Company's auditors for 2010.                                                    

The Annual General Meeting authorised the Board of Directors to decide on the   
issuance of new shares in one or several tranches so that the total number of   
shares issued based on the authorization is 20,000,000 at maximum. The          
authorization is valid until the next Annual General Meeting. The authorization 
replaces the Annual General Meeting's authorization to decide on a share issue  
of 15 April 2009.                                                               


RISKS                                                                           

The main business risk in shipping is overcapacity of the tonnage. Overall the  
global ro-ro market looks better than other maritime transport sectors, where   
newbuildings are further increasing the imbalance of supply and demand of       
tonnage. For the ro-ro sector this does not apply. Moreover, around 50% of the  
current global ro-ro fleet is over 25 years old and needs to be scrapped for    
environmental reasons.                                                          

Finnlines monitors constantly the stability and the payment behaviour of its    
customers and currently there are no significant risks related to this.         

Finnlines holds adequate credit lines to maintain liquidity in the current      
business environment.                                                           
The annual report 2009 contains a thorough description of Finnlines' risks and  
risk management, and there are no essential changes to that report.             


ESSENTIAL CHANGES IN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS                                          

The Annual Report 2009 contains a thorough description of legal proceedings and 
the following is a description of the changes compared to what was reported in  
the annual report:                                                              

The Helsinki District Court rendered on 3 March 2010 its judgment in the action 
initiated by Mutual Pension Insurance Company Ilmarinen against Finnlines Plc.  
In its action Ilmarinen objected to the decision by Finnlines' Annual General   
Meeting held on 20 May 2008 to distribute EUR 180,216.39 as a minimum dividend  
and demanded that the minimum dividend be increased. The District Court approved
Ilmarinen's claim to have the resolution of the Annual General Meeting amended  
so that the minimum dividend instead of EUR 180,216.39 as above should have been
EUR 17,181,000. In addition, the District Court ordered Finnlines to compensate 
Ilmarinen's legal costs by an amount of EUR 300,035.15 together with interest at
statutory rate. As Finnlines has assessed Ilmarinen's claim not being           
justifiable, any amount relating to the claim has not been recorded. Finnlines  
filed an appeal with the Helsinki Court of Appeal against the judgement by the  
Helsinki District Court in April 2010 and the case is under process.            

Taxation of internal vessel sales carried out in 2007 by Finnlines' Swedish     
subsidiary includes uncertainties.  The decision of the tax authorities was that
a SEK 97.2 million (EUR 9.5) tax debt should be paid. The Company has been      
granted postponement of this payment as it has appealed in the matter and the   
court proceedings are under way. As the Company recorded a deferred tax         
liability due to the temporary timing difference in the tax year in question,   
this matter does not have any significant effect on the Company's result.       

Finnlines received information on the last day of January 2010 that the Finnish 
Transport Workers' Union has filed legal actions against Finnlines' port        
operations subsidiary for compensations of weekend work. The Company considers  
the basis of the action groundless. The Company has replied to the submission of
the Union. The main hearing will take place later in autumn.                    

Sub-chartering of MS Birka Transporter and MS Birka Explorer to Scandinavian    
Shipping Investment A/S ('SSI') caused Finnlines a loss of time charter hires   
and expenses in total EUR 326,211, as SSI terminated the charters in summer     
2009. Since the parties could not reach an agreement, Finnlines started the     
arbitration proceedings against SSI for payment of the outstanding time charter 
hires and expenses. Finnlines has received SSI's counter claim in the amount of 
EUR 1,182,298. Finnlines considers the basis of the counter claim               
groundless. The charters are subject to Finnish law and the place of arbitration
is Helsinki. The main hearing of the arbitration proceedings will take place in 
autumn.                                                                         

Finnlines addressed material appeals to the Finnish Customs and the Port of     
Helsinki for rectification of the paid fairway and port dues based on the       
incorrect tonnage certificates of the Star-class vessels issued by the Swedish  
and Finnish maritime authorities. The Finnish Customs have refunded the excess  
paid fairways dues entirely as from the year of the construction of each        
Star-class vessel. The Port of Helsinki decided to refund  the excess paid ports
dues only in the amount of EUR 554,550 for 2009. Finnlines considered the       
decision of the Port of Helsinki groundless and appealed to the Administrative  
Court of Helsinki for refunding of the entire non-refunded excess port dues in  
the amount EUR 2,087,418. The case is under process. The yet non-refunded part  
of the fairway dues was booked as crediting other operating expenses in the     
second quarter 2010, based on management's estimate of the outcome of the case. 


FINNLINES PROSPECTS FOR 2010                                                    

Since April there have been signs of good recovery in transport volumes. On some
lines the Company has been able to improve the freights and the passenger       
bookings for the summer season have increased considerably compared to last     
year.                                                                           

The Company expects the whole year 2010 result to be positive due to extensive  
cost reduction, synergy and optimisation initiatives, focusing a lot on a better
fleet capacity utilisation, a production-driven fleet allocation on existing and
new trades, and improved volume and revenue development both on the cargo and on
the passenger sector.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS                                                      

In April 2009, Finnlines' subsidiary Hanseatic Shipping sold MS Finnhansa to    
Grimaldi Group at the market price of EUR 40 million with a call option to      
repurchase the vessel at the same price. This call option was exercised in April
2010. MS Finnhansa (renamed Transrussia) was bought in July 2010 by Finnlines   
Deutschland GmbH, after which she was delivered and started plying in           
TransRussiaExpress traffic.                                                     

Redelivery of the two vessels, hired to Grimaldi Group in 2009, took place in   
the first quarter 2010 and at the beginning of the second quarter 2010.         

Otherwise there were no material related party transactions or balances during  
the reporting period.                                                           


REPORTING AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES                                               

This interim report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34 (Interim Financial    
Reporting) using the same accounting policies and methods as in the annual      
financial statements for 2009.  All figures in the accounts have been rounded   
and consequently the sum of individual figures can deviate from the presented   
sum figure.                                                                     

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires    
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the valuation of the   
reported assets and liabilities and other information such as contingent        
liabilities and the recognition of income and expenses in the income statement. 
Although the estimates are based on the management's best knowledge of current  
events and actions, actual results may differ from the estimates.
