Segment information
In 2015, TORM consisted of two business segments: The Tanker Segment and Bulk Segment. Due to divestment of the Bulk Segment during 2015, only the Tanker Segment remains for 2016 and 2017.
The segmentation is based on the Group's internal management and reporting structure. In the Tanker Segment, the services provided primarily comprise transportation of refined oil products such as gasoline, jet fuel and naphtha.
The Group has only one geographical segment, because the Company considers the global market as a whole, and as the individual vessels are not limited to specific parts of the world. Furthermore, the internal management reporting does not provide such information. Consequently, it is not possible to provide geographical segment information on revenue from external customers or non-current segment assets.
The segment income statement comprises income and expenses which are directly attributable to the segment. Not allocated items primarily comprise assets and liabilities as well as revenues and expenses relating to the Company's administrative functions and investment activities, including cash and bank balances, interest-bearing debt, income tax, deferred tax, etc.
The accounting policies applied for the segments regarding recognition and measurement are consistent with the policies for TORM as described in this note.
