The company has reported time charter equivalent revenues of $207.3 million for the third quarter of 2009, a decrease of 52%, compared to $434.7 million for the corresponding period of 2008.
The company's earnings for the first nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $93.3 million or $3.47 per diluted share, compared to $397.2 million or $12.99 per diluted share for the same period of 2008.
Time charter equivalent revenues for the first nine months of 2009 decreased 37% to $748.5 million, compared to $1.2 billion for the first nine months of 2008.
Morten Arntzen, president and CEO of the company, said: "As expected, we faced very tough market conditions during the third quarter. Year-over-year contractions in global oil demand and oil production, notably by Saudi Arabia, were exacerbated by continued poor refining environments."
