Forward Guidance

Frontline anticipates continued stability in fleet utilization and potential rate support due to sanctions and constrained tanker supply.

Positive Outlook

  • No meaningful debt maturities until 2030.
  • Continued focus on low breakeven cost structure.
  • Strong cash position and liquidity from recent refinancing deals.
  • Slow fleet growth and stalled new orders support long-term fundamentals.
  • Improved utilization on larger tankers during the quarter.

Challenges Ahead

  • Expected decline in Q2 spot TCEs due to ballast days.
  • Geopolitical uncertainties could impact freight market dynamics.
  • Pressure from sanctions may create operational complexities.
  • Limited vessel recycling has slowed fleet renewal.
  • Older tonnage engaging in grey trade could affect mainstream fleet utilization.
