Ship Finance Int'l: Steady Income in a Volatile Sector [View article]
Remember the higher yielding tanker companies like FRO, NAT and I believe TNK earn their rates on the spot market and the dividends fluctuate hugely. This last quarter ($2.75)was the highest dividend for FRO since they paid $3.10 in Q1, 2005. SFL is a more conservative play, having first call on much of FRO's revenues and a 20% profit share above a certain revenue level.
