"Odfjell rounded off a record-strong 2024 and continued to perform well in the final quarter of the year despite a slightly softer market. This shows the strength of our business model, with a healthy contract portfolio as a foundation.

The year has also demonstrated our team’s excellent performance on safety and operational efficiency, as well as continued progress on energy efficiency.

1Q25 is expected to be another quarter of solid financial results, slightly below 4Q24 due to the lower spot volumes observed at the start of the quarter."
