Ocean Yield ASA
Overview
Ocean Yield ASA is a Norwegian ship-owning company investing in vessels on long-term charters. The company has a diversified portfolio comprising tankers, gas carriers, container vessels, dry bulk vessels, and oil-service vessels, all chartered to various counterparties. As of year-end 2024, the company's fleet includes 66 vessels with an EBITDA backlog of USD 4.2 billion and an average remaining charter duration of 10.4 years. The company's investment strategy focuses on acquiring modern vessels and entering into long-term charters, primarily bareboat charters of 10 to 15 years, with creditworthy international counterparties. This approach provides visibility into future earnings and dividend capacity. Ocean Yield ASA's portfolio spans multiple sectors, including shipping, energy, infrastructure, real estate, and financial services. In 2024, Ocean Yield ASA expanded its portfolio by acquiring a 34% indirect economic interest in France LNG Shipping SAS, a joint venture owning 12 LNG carriers on long-term charters to investment-grade European energy firms. This acquisition added USD 840 million to the company's backlog. The company is wholly owned by an infrastructure fund advised by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (KKR) following its 2021 acquisition.
