- Strong financial performance with net result of USD54 million, up from USD32 million in the previous quarter, and adjusted net result of USD56 million.
- Improved time charter earnings per day to USD29,486, up from USD27,232, driven by stronger spot markets.
- Successful navigation of geopolitical risks, with all four vessels trapped in the Middle East Gulf safely leaving the region.
- Fleet expansion and modernization through delivery of two newbuildings and agreement to purchase four super-segregators, enhancing future efficiency and capacity.
- Strong safety performance and improved carbon intensity (AER down to 6.9) despite operational challenges.
- Volumes declined by approximately 6% due to the Middle East Gulf situation, with no immediate sign of resolution.
- Expectation of lower underlying net result in the next quarter, closer to first quarter levels, due to softening spot rates.
- Increased geopolitical volatility across multiple regions (Middle East, Black Sea, Red Sea, Mediterranean, Somalia) creating operational uncertainties.
- Potential downside risks from vessel deliveries and diminishing inventories worldwide, which could pressure freight rates.
- Storage demand in the US and Asia is soft due to geopolitical headwinds, impacting terminal performance.
Good morning to all of you and welcome to Odfjell's presentation of our second quarter results.
We will follow an agenda, which should be well known to all of you. I will take you through the highlights and then my colleague, Terje Iversen, will present our financial performance. And finally, I will conclude this presentation with an operational review, market update, and the prospects going forward.
So if we then turn to the highlights, we start with safety. We have seen a very volatile environment this quarter, but I'm still very satisfied to report that our strong safety performance continued throughout the quarter. I'm equally happy to say that our four Odfjell vessels that were trapped inside the Middle East Gulf have all safely left the region, and this is due to fantastic cooperation between the people on board our ships and also onshore on different locations. We are presently not considering to send vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.
If we then turn to our financial performance, we delivered time charter earnings
