· During the quarter, Odfjell has taken delivery of one newbuilding on long
term time charter and declared purchase options on two vessels currently on

· Dividend of USD 0.62 per share approved by the Board based on adjusted 1H23
results.
"Odfjell delivered another record strong quarter on the back of a profitable
contract portfolio and solid operational performance. We expect demand to reduce
somewhat in 3Q23 in line with seasonal effects. Further renewals of our COAs
should offset some of this effect and we expect only a marginal decrease in our
TCE in 3Q23" said CEO Harald Fotland.
