Ocean Yield has been approved for a secondary over-the-counter listing in the US.

The Oslo-listed shipowner, controlled by Kjell Inge Rokke, will trade on the OTCQX Best Market from Tuesday.

It said the international tier of this market is designed for "established, investor-focused" overseas operations that have met high financial standards.

OTCQX is considered by the SEC as an "established public market", it added.
