Management
Thank you, Espen. We are pleased to announce our 87th consecutive dividend as we continue to build SFL as a maritime infrastructure company with a diversified and high-quality fleet. For the third quarter, we reported revenues of $178 million and an EBITDA equivalent cash flow of $113 million. Over the past 12 months, EBITDA amounts to $473 million, reflecting the continued strength and stability of our operations. In recent quarters, we have taken decisive steps to strengthen our charter backlog, securing long-term agreements with strong counterparties and deploying high-quality assets. At the same time, we have made substantial investments in cargo handling and fuel efficiency upgrades across our fleet while divesting older and less efficient vessels. Our Chief Operating Officer, Trym Sjølie, will elaborate on this later. As part of our fleet renewal strategy, 5 57,000 deadweight ton dry bulk vessels built between 2009 and 2012 have been sold with the final vessels delivered in the third quarter. In addition, 8 older Capesize bulkers were redelivered to Golden Ocean and 7 2002-built container ships were redelivered to MSC during the second and third quarters. These actions, combined with our efficiency upgrades have materially improved the operational and fuel efficiency profile of our fleet, delivering tangible benefits to both SFL and our customers. We have also advanced our commitment to cleaner technology with 11 vessels now capable of operating on LNG fuel, including 5 newbuildings currently under construction. During the third quarter, we announced new 5-year charters for 3 9,500 TEU container vessels on charter to Maersk, adding approximately $225 million to our charter backlog from 2026 onwards. These vessels will be upgraded with advanced cargo handling and fuel efficiency features in line with our larger containership fleet. Turning to the Offshore segment.
