Udo Lange, Chief Executive Officer of Stolt-Nielsen Limited, commented:
“I am pleased to see that we have started the new financial year on a strong note. The firm market conditions enjoyed by Stolt Tankers during 2023 continued into the first quarter and have been further supported by the restricted transits of both the Panama and Suez canals. Spot rates continued to strengthen through the first quarter and we should start seeing the effect in the second quarter onwards. That said, we have seen some contract volumes decline as our customers adjust to the impact of supply chain disruptions. Stolthaven Terminals produced record operating results for the quarter, fully focused on executing the strategy of bringing in higher-margin business. At Stolt Tank Containers shipment volumes continued to increase as we hit a record 40,047 shipments during the first quarter – an increase of 22% from the same quarter last year – as we continue to grow our market share. The reductions in margins and demurrage revenue that we experienced during 2023 now seem to have levelled off. Stolt Sea Farm’s strong operating performance continued into the first quarter as a result of rising sales volumes and firming prices for both turbot and sole.

“During the quarter our deep-sea joint venture, NYK Stolt Tankers, announced a newbuilding order for six stainless-steel fuel-efficient ships from Nantong Xiangju Shipyard in China, with estimated delivery from late 2026 onwards. We are pleased to have secured these additional newbuildings with a quality yard and a favourable delivery schedule that fits with the retirement of our older tonnage. This order brings our total deep-sea orderbook to 12 ships.”
