Udo Lange, Chief Executive Officer of Stolt-Nielsen Limited, commented: “The third quarter results reflect the strong standing of the company and the strength of our diverse portfolio of businesses. Stolt Tankers had another strong quarter, benefitting from firm contract freight rates and improved volumes overall. The spot market, which came off the peak early in the quarter, has now stabilised. Stolthaven Terminals continues to enjoy high utilisation, which has enabled us to renew contracts with rate increases. At Stolt Tank Containers, we were able to increase shipment volumes, albeit at lower margins. For Stolt Sea Farm, the third quarter benefits from rising demand during the summer months, and this year we saw prices, for sole in particular, reach new record highs.

“Reflecting on our strong performance this quarter and my first few weeks at Stolt-Nielsen, I have been impressed with the strength of our businesses and the leading positions we enjoy in the markets where we operate. It is also good to see that we are operating in a market environment with ongoing positive momentum. Throughout the organisation our people are dedicated to excellence and possess a strong desire to do better for our customers and shareholders. I look forward to building on this positive energy as we drive the company forward.”
