PROSPECTS – ODFJELL
- On the shipping side the recovery is slow.
- Good second quarter activity in certain trades, but pressure on freight rates will probably continue.
- Certain operators are entering new trades.
- Disposal of older units has made our tonnage situation tighter.
- Further fleet reduction (older units).
- Deliveries of newbuildings will continue.
- Ships on order will probably be delayed or not delivered.
- The rise of bunkers prices concerns, and may hamper recovery of out time charter results.
- Continued challenging market, but believe we will see a slow but gradual improvement of our time charter earnings.
- Tank terminal results expected to remain strong.
