Ole B. Hjertaker, CEO of SFL Management AS, said in a comment:
«SFL continues to strengthen its position as a leading maritime infrastructure company, with the majority of vessels and rigs on long term time charters to industrial end users. This strategy provides strong earnings visibility and a solid foundation for sustainable shareholder returns.
We remain focused on maintaining a modern and efficient fleet. So far, we have invested nearly $100 million in fuel efficiency and cargo optimization upgrades, improving both operational performance and environmental footprint. These initiatives have contributed to adding approximately $1.2 billion to our fixed rate charter backlog. And with the exception of our legacy drilling rig Hercules, all our assets are employed on profitable charters with high utilization. We remain optimistic about securing new employment for Hercules next year and continue to explore strategic opportunities to unlock additional value.
Our fixed rate charter backlog stands at approximately $4 billion, providing strong cash-flow visibility and supporting our long term dividend distribution capacity. Combined with our disciplined capital allocation and focus on accretive investments, SFL remains well positioned to deliver consistent value to its shareholders.»
