SFL Gets Past Shipping’s Greed and Paranoia

The global shipping industry has a long history of boom-and-bust cycles, which make SFL stand out for its ability to pay dividends every quarter for the past 20 years, says CEO Ole Hjertaker. In this Talking Transports podcast Hjertaker joins Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence senior transportation and logistics analyst, to share his outlook for shipping subsectors including containers, tankers, dry bulk and car carriers as well as for jack-up drilling rigs. SFL’s model of owning maritime assets and chartering them via long-term contracts has created a stable business that’s focused on returning capital to investors. Hjertaker also talks about how the company is navigating new emission regulations facing the global shipping industry and the process of buying these expensive maritime assets.
