CHALLENGING TRADING ENVIRONMENT FOR DRY OPERATOR
“Dry Operator entered the second quarter on the wrong foot but managed to quickly adjust its position to still generate a positive trading margin. However, this was not enough to prevent a loss in this business unit. Despite the disappointing result, we still expect Dry Operator to be profitable for the full year, which, combined with a firming forward Tanker market, enables NORDEN to maintain the overall guidance of USD 25-60 million profit for 2019.” CEO Jan Rindbo
