In January 2025, the Company agreed to sell the 1,700 TEU container vessel, Asian Ace, to an unrelated third party at a selling price of approximately $9.5 million. The vessel is expected to be delivered to its new owners during the second quarter of 2025. The vessel is debt free and had a net book value of approximately $5.3 million as of December 31, 2024. In February 2025, the Company announced that Golden Ocean had exercised its purchase options for eight Capesize vessels for $112.0 million in aggregate. The vessels will be redelivered to Golden Ocean during the third quarter of 2025, and net cash proceed after repayment of debt is estimated to be approximately $50.0 million.

Seadrill filed an appeal to the Oslo District Court on March 5, 2025.
