Odfjell SE on April 7, 2025 reported its results for the first quarter of 2025, showing a resilient financial result despite the increased market uncertainty. The strong safety performance continues with high operational efficiency and no significant incidents during the quarter. Odfjell delivered a resilient financial 1Q25 result in a market characterized by increased uncertainty due to the initial U.S. trade tariffs announcement.

This quarter, we reached a new milestone in our decarbonization efforts as an Odfjell vessel successfully completed a near-carbon-neutral transatlantic voyage. We expect our 2Q25 financial results to be in line with, or slightly better than 1Q25, however we are closely monitoring the uncertain market situation," said CEO Harald Fotland.
