“2Q20 was a good quarter for Odfjell due to a continued firming chemical tanker market and a firm spot market. We are happy to report positive figures in light of the unprecedented times of the global economy. This shows the agility and resilience of our global platform and business model. Covid-19 continues to cast high uncertainty about the future, but we are so far not experiencing any major negative impact overall in our markets. We expect 3Q20 to be impacted by usual seasonality and we therefore anticipate to report weaker, but still positive, results in the next quarter"
