Commenting on the third quarter results, Lars Solbakken, CEO of Ocean Yield, said:

“Ocean Yield delivers strong results for Q3, with an EBITDA, adjusted for finance lease effects, of more than USD 100 million for the first time. We continue to invest in what we believe are attractive transactions and the Company has now a fleet of 57 vessels with an EBITDA backlog of USD 3.6 billion, including vessels acquired after the end of the quarter. The expiry of the long-term contract for the FPSO Dhirubhai-1 is expected to have a negative effect on the results in the short term, but based on an improved market outlook for FPSOs and on-going discussions, we are optimistic with respect to finding a satisfactory long-term solution for this unit.”
