Expectations for 2019

STRONG FINISH TO AN EXCITING YEAR
“2018 marked a highly successful first full calendar year with the Dry Operator and Dry Owner set-up. Dry Operator alone realised an Adjusted Result of USD 30 million, and with strong performance in the fourth quarter demonstrated its ability to generate value also in softening markets. The profits generated in our two dry cargo business units show the strength of our business model and more than off-set losses in Tankers in a historically poor tanker market. With continued strong performance in Dry Operator, an increase in coverage in Dry Owner and an increase in capacity in the tanker market, NORDEN is well positioned towards an uncertain dry cargo market and a tanker market expected to improve.” CEO Jan Rindbo
