Klaveness Combination Carriers
Oslo, 10 October 2025: Klaveness Combination Carriers' ("KCC" or the "Company")
preliminary fleet average TCE earnings for the quarter ended at $28,921/day,
landing at the upper end of the guiding range ($27,500-29,000/day).
The CABU fleet achieved TCE earnings of $30,062/day, slightly above the guiding
range ($29,000-30,000/day). CABU earnings continued to outperform the standard
MR tanker market, with a multiple of 1.4* for the quarter.
The CLEANBU fleet reported TCE earnings of $27,740/day for the quarter, at the
upper end of the guiding range ($26,000-28,000/day) and slightly above LR1 spot
tanker rates, corresponding to a multiple of 1.1*.
CABU and CLEANBU TCE earnings increased by approximately USD 3,700 per day and
USD 4,900 per day, respectively, from the second to the third quarter of 2025.
The CABU rate improvement from last quarter was primarily driven by stronger
caustic soda solution TCE earnings, supported by higher cargo intake and a
firmer underlying product tanker market. In addition, solid dry bulk earnings
and more efficient trading (95% combination trading and 11% ballast) contributed
positively, partly offset by a lower share of capacity trading in wet mode (47%
in Q3, down from 54% in Q2) and negative IFRS effects.
The positive CLEANBU rate development from the second quarter to the third
quarter of 2025 was driven by stronger markets, increased capacity employed in
the best-paying trades, and a higher share of capacity employed in clean
petroleum products trading (60% in Q3, up from 56% in Q2), as well as positive
IFRS effects.
KCC recorded 14 more on-hire days than guided for the third quarter, primarily
due to adjustments in the start dates of two dry-dockings.
KCC's Third Quarter Report for 2025 will be published on 28 October 2025.
