SFL Corporation Ltd. is a leading maritime and offshore asset owner that operates a diversified leasing and chartering business model. The company acquires marine assets and leases them out on medium to long-term bareboat and time charters, providing critical infrastructure to shipping lines, commodity traders, and energy companies without requiring them to tie up capital in asset ownership. SFL's fleet is highly diversified across multiple segments, including crude oil and product tankers, container vessels, dry bulk carriers, car carriers, and offshore drilling rigs (such as harsh-environment jack-up and ultra-deepwater rigs). While the company operates as a single reportable segment, its revenue is broadly split between shipping operations and energy/offshore assets. SFL generates stable, predictable cash flows through its extensive charter backlog, with a significant portion of its contracts secured by investment-grade counterparties. Originally spun out of Frontline as Ship Finance International Limited, the company rebranded to SFL Corporation Ltd. in 2019 to reflect its broader asset base beyond traditional shipping.
