- During the quarter, Odfjell has taken delivery of one newbuilding on long term time charter and declared purchase options on two vessels currently on financial lease. One vessel was sold towards the end of 2Q23.

"Odfjell delivered another record strong quarter on the back of a profitable contract portfolio and solid operational performance. We expect demand to reduce somewhat in 3Q23 in line with seasonal effects. Further renewals of our COAs should offset some of this effect and we expect only a marginal decrease in our TCE in 3Q23” said CEO Harald Fotland.
