Description: SFL SFL November 16, 2025
SFL Corporation Ltd. (NYSE:SFL) is a Bermuda-incorporated owner and lessor of maritime and offshore assets, operating a diversified fleet that includes 18 tankers, 15 dry-bulk carriers, 29 container ships, seven car carriers and two drilling rigs as of 31 Dec 2024. The company generates revenue through medium- and long-term charters across multiple segments-oil and product transportation, dry-bulk and container shipping, car transport, and offshore drilling-while maintaining a global presence in key flag states such as Bermuda, Cyprus, Liberia and Singapore.
According to its most recent Form 10-Q (Q3 2024), SFL reported adjusted EBITDA of roughly $85 million, a 12 % year-over-year increase driven by higher spot rates in the tanker market and a rebound in dry-bulk freight as the Baltic Dry Index rose above 2,200 points. The firm’s fleet utilization averaged 92 % in Q3, reflecting strong demand for oil transportation amid a modest uptick in global crude consumption (≈ 1 % YoY). A key sector driver remains the volatility of freight rates, which are closely tied to global trade volumes, geopolitical supply-chain disruptions, and evolving environmental regulations that push operators toward newer, lower-emission vessels.
