The Group has assessed whether any impairment triggers exist for its property, plant and equipment using
internal and external sources of information. Reference is made to
note 10 ‘Impairment losses’. Of the
impairment recognized, EUR 115 million relates to assets that were valued at fair value less costs to sell
(fair value hierarchy: level 3) and is mainly determined by an external valuator and scrap values for certain
assets that will be put out of operation, and EUR 251 million relates to assets that were valued at value-in-
use. Pre-tax discount rates used in the discounted, projected, cash flow models for the useful life of the main
vessels vary from 7.0% - 7.6%. If the cash flow projections used in the value-in-use calculations would have
been 3% lower subsequent to 2017, the Group would have recognized an additional impairment of
EUR 3.8 million. If the estimated discount rates for these assets would have been 1% higher than disclosed
