Business & outlook

Around 96% of manufactured products globally rely on chemicals. Odfjell’s core business is the safe transportation and storage of these essential resources, on board our ships and at our terminals.

We have ownership in four strategically located tank terminals in the USA, Belgium, and Korea, offering 480 tanks with a total capacity of 1.3 million cubic meters.

At sea, our fleet of 70 advanced chemical tankers transports more than 13 million tons of cargo annually, making over 2,400 port calls and covering a distance equivalent to 186 trips around the equator.

Odfjell Tankers &
Ship Management

Odfjell is a fully integrated logistics provider, serving chemical producers, oil majors, and traders worldwide. Odfjell Tankers and Ship Management are central to our operations, combining commercial, technical, and operational excellence. Our performance relies on the condition of our vessels and the expertise of our people, at sea and ashore, ensuring safe and efficient operations.


Strong results despite softer markets and geopolitical impact

Odfjell delivered strong results in 2025, though a softer spot market led to lower earnings compared to the record levels of the year before. Geopolitics had a significant impact on shipping markets in 2025, a development expected to continue in 2026. Nevertheless, we are proud to have performed well with regard to safety, operational efficiency, and commercial effectiveness.
