March 31 (LNGJ) - Stolt-Nielsen Ltd, the Norwegian company which derives a small part of its income from the Avenir LNG joint venture with partners Höegh LNG and Golar LNG, reported first-quarter 2022 net profits of $52.3 million with revenues of $606.2M compared with a net profit of $35.0M and revenues of $593.M logged in the fourth quarter of 2021.
The Stolt-Nielsen group operates in an array of businesses including tankers, terminals and gas. “Typically the first quarter of the year is the seasonally weakest quarter. However, this year the first quarter showed no signs of weakness as we posted our strongest quarterly results since 2008,” said Chief Executive Niels G. Stolt-Nielsen. “Stolt Tank Containers led the way with record earnings. Although shipment volumes were down, margins held firm, supported by our ability to secure space on containerships and higher demurrage revenue,” added the CEO.
