Hafnia Limited (NYSE:HAFN) is one of the best marine shipping stocks to buy right now.

On February 26, Hafnia Ltd (NYSE:HAFN) delivered the strongest quarterly results for 2025. The company posted net profit of $109.7 million, or $0.22 a share, compared to $79.6 million, or $ 0.16 a share, in the same quarter in 2024. Time charter equivalent earnings totaled $259 million, up from $233.6 million in Q4 2024.

Fourth-quarter results were aided by scheduled drydocking, resulting in 550 off-hire days. CEO Mikael Skov expects strong drydocking in 2026 but fewer off-hire days. Full-year net profit was $339.7 million ($0.68/share), versus $774 million ($1.52/share) in 2024. Fee-based earnings totaled $29.8 million, down from $35.2 million in 2024.

Amid the solid financial results, Hafnia continues to divest older tonnage. Early in the year, the company completed the sale of a 2013-built MR vessel and took delivery of the Ecomar Gironde. In addition to fleet divestment and renewal, Hafnia has also reiterated its commitment to returning value to shareholders through dividend payouts.

“We announce an 80% payout ratio for Q4: $87.7 million dividends, or $0.1762 per share. Total 2025 dividends are $0.5457 per share, yielding about 10%,” said Skov.

Hafnia Limited (NYSE:HAFN) is the world's largest owner and operator of product and chemical tankers, specializing in the transportation of refined oil products, chemicals, and vegetable oils. As part of BW Group, the company manages a fleet of over 200 vessels.
