SFL Corporation Ltd (SFL) Quote

Seems less likely it won’t happen now IMO

Hmmmm I wonder???

he also seems to get along rather well with Xi Jinping. From this we can deduce that earlier much feared trade wars seems to be less of a threat for now.

Ship Finance International (SFL) is the maritime shipping company with the most diverse fleet.

Its focus is on long term charters, which is crucial in an industry with many ups and downs. The shipping industry is absolutely vital to the flow of trade, and is a direct beneficiary of any potential increase in global trade.

Despite valid concerns that the United States is becoming more protectionist in their trade dealings with Mexico and China in particular, the sitting President has other more pressing work to do.

In addition, rather unexpectedly, he also seems to get along rather well with Xi Jinping. From this we can deduce that earlier much feared trade wars seems to be less of a threat for now.

Looking real strong heading into X date tomorrow! Wasn't expecting such a nice gap up today. Real happy with the news and so is the market. Printing 14 + today.

$SFL Ship Finance +5% after signing restructuring deal with Seadrill

Ship Finance International (SFL +4.7%) is higher on news of its restructuring agreement in connection with Seadrill's Chapter 11 restructuring.

As part of SDRL's plan, SFL and three subsidiaries which own and lease the West Linus, West Hercules and West Taurus drilling rigs to Seadrill agree to reduce the contractual charter hire by ~30% for five years beginning next year, with the reduced amounts added back in the period thereafter.

The banks who finance the three rigs agree to extend the loan period by roughyl four years, with reduced amortization in the extension period compared to today's level.

Started an opening position here this week at 13.5 for 500 shares. Looks strong going into the next distribution coming up. Coming out of a 2 year decline and headed in the right direction. going build my position with the divvy pretty decent return have a target of 15-17 a share in the next 12 months.

Go SFL!!!

SFL Horizon Lines Completes Transactions To Reduce Debt and Eliminate Vessel Charter Obligations
PROVIDED BY PR Newswire - 8:46 AM 04/10/2012

CHARLOTTE, N.C., April 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Horizon Lines, Inc. (OTCQB: HRZL) today announced that it has completed transactions with more than 99% of its noteholders, and with Ship Finance International Limited ("SFL") and certain of its subsidiaries, to substantially deleverage the Company's balance sheet and terminate vessel charter obligations related to its discontinued trans-Pacific service.

These simultaneous transactions eliminate virtually all of the remaining $228.4 million of the Company's 6.00% Series A and Series B Convertible Secured Notes, partially offset by the issuance of $40.0 million of debt to SFL as part of the full and final settlement of the vessel charter obligations, resulting in a net debt reduction of $188.4 million. The Company's earnings and cash flows will be further improved by the termination of $32.0 million in annual vessel charter obligations for the five ships leased from SFL, as well as the elimination of approximately $3.0 million of annual lay-up costs for the idle vessels.

"These transactions successfully close a chapter in the history of Horizon Lines (HRZL) that we have been working diligently to complete for these past many months," said Stephen H. Fraser, interim President and Chief Executive Officer. "Horizon Lines (HRZL) moves forward today from a stronger financial position that will enable us to better focus on customers in our core Jones Act trades and to invest in the future of our business. We greatly appreciate the support of our noteholders and SFL during the final steps of this process, and also thank our associates, customers, labor partners, and vendors for their loyalty and faith in Horizon Lines (HRZL)."

Under the transactions announced today:

Substantially all of the remaining $228.4 million of the Company's 6.00% Series A and Series B Convertible Senior Secured Notes are being converted into stock, or warrants for non-U.S. citizens, equivalent to 83.5% of the Company's common stock on a fully converted basis.
Subsidiaries of SFL are releasing the Company from its remaining charter obligations, totaling $220.8 million over seven years. In exchange, the Company has provided SFL with $40.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2016 pursuant to the Indenture dated October 5, 2011, plus warrants equivalent to 10.0% of the Company's shares outstanding on a fully converted basis upon completion of the transaction.
Existing holders will maintain a stake of 6.5% in the Company's stock. This includes approximately 1.4% for existing equity holders and approximately 5.1% for noteholders who received stock or warrants in the October 5, 2011 refinancing and as part of the mandatory debt-to-equity conversion on January 11, 2012. Upon completion of the transactions, the noteholders and SFL, respectively, will own stock and warrants equivalent to approximately 88.6% and 10.0%, of the Company's common stock on a fully converted basis.
In addition, 7.5 million authorized, but unissued shares, are being reserved for future management incentive plans.
The elimination of the vessel lease obligations saves Horizon Lines (HRZL) $32.0 million annually through 2018, and $4.8 million in 2019, as well as associated vessel lay-up costs of $3.0 million per year, assuming the five vessels were to remain inactive. As a result of the transactions, the Company's total funded debt outstanding will be reduced to approximately $404.4 million, from $592.8 million at March 31, 2012.

"The significant deleveraging resulting from these transactions greatly improves the Company's cash flow and liquidity, allowing for greater financial flexibility and stability," said Michael T. Avara, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "As a result, Horizon Lines (HRZL) is now better positioned for improved profitability and sustained investment in our business."

The Company will file its 2011 Form 10-K Annual Report and fourth-quarter financial results later today.

In conjunction with the transactions, Horizon Lines (HRZL) announced that it is reducing the size of its Board of Directors to seven members from 11, effective immediately, and that Board member Jeffrey A. Brodsky is succeeding Alex J. Mandl as Chairman. Mr. Mandl is retiring from the Board, along with William J. Flynn, Bobby J. Griffin and Carol B. Hallett. Mr. Fraser remains interim President and Chief Executive Officer until a new Chief Executive Officer is named.

"I want to express our Board's sincerest appreciation to Msrs. Mandl, Flynn, Griffin and Ms. Hallett, for their unwavering commitment to Horizon Lines (HRZL)," said Mr. Brodsky. "As Chairman, Mr. Mandl has guided our Board with steadfast and exceptional leadership through a very challenging period. We are truly grateful to Mr. Mandl and to the other retiring Board members for their exemplary service and dedication to Horizon Lines (HRZL). Today's announced transactions solidify the Company's financial position, allowing a smaller Board to guide the company forward."

Kirkland & Ellis LLP served as legal advisor and Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc. served as financial advisor to the Company. Latham & Watkins LLP served as legal advisor to SFL. Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP served as legal advisor to the noteholders.

This stock is getting ready to breakout towards the upside-$29 short term IMO

Oil tanker owner and operator Ship Finance International Ltd. said Monday it has terminated a deal to buy three seismic vessels from SCAN Geophysical ASA because of "significantly delayed deliveries."

Ship Finance Limited: Hit Too Hard?

http://seekingalpha.com/article/103867-ship-finance-limited-hit-too-hard?source=yahoo

Oil tanker owner and operator Ship Finance International Ltd. increased its quarterly dividend by two cents per share, to 60 cents per share.

Ship Finance International (SFL) Does long term, bareboat charters of tanker, cargo and offshore ships. Revenues and 20% dividend appear to be very secure. A gain in the BDI will definitely help the share price.

http://seekingalpha.com/article/111050-baltic-capesize-index-surges-a-step-towards-industrial-recovery?source=yahoo

Not just on techincal merit. Seasonally crude oil inventories start to wind down some time after May and into the summer months. We can't be sure when inventories start to drop but when they do it typically reduced demand for imports and less demand for transportation. I expect US imports to be runnign around 9 to 9.5 million barrels a day and China to continue to take in about 4.0 - 4.5 million barrels a day. I'd be happy for some summer weakness to pick up some additional shares in some of these shippers over the long run.

Both daily and weekly charts suggest a good short at hand...
