Highlights
Robert Hvide Macleod, Chief Executive Officer of Frontline Management AS commented:
"The impact of the significant fleet growth over the last two years was felt across the industry and is reflected in our results for the third quarter. Indeed, the rate environment presented in the quarter was the weakest we have experienced since 2013. During this time, we showed commercial discipline by not accepting unreasonably low offers from charterers. This resulted in extended waiting time, particularly on our VLCC's, and impacted our average TCE earnings. We continue to take proactive steps to increase the earnings potential of our fleet as demonstrated by reducing the average age of our fleet from 8.1 to 5.4 years since 2016. We believe we are well positioned to continue to execute our strategy over a long term horizon with the goal of returning value to shareholders."
Inger M. Klemp, Chief Financial Officer of Frontline Management AS, added:
"Frontline is proactively focused on establishing and maintaining low cash break-even rates as we grow our fleet and the financing of our current newbuilding program has been completed on terms which support Frontline's low cash break-even levels."
