Want a charter rate cut from SFL? 'We usually politely decline'

SFL Corp has revealed is it not facing any charter reduction negotiations during the coronavirus pandemic.

That is excepting of course a request from Seadrill, backed by the US-listed shipowner's biggest shareholder John Fredriksen, to reduce rates for three drillships bareboated from SFL, as TradeWinds reported last week.

SFL chief executive Ole Hjertaker said the company had received no other "specific requests" to cut rates.
