Aker-controlled Ocean Yield is looking to flex its financial muscle and expand into several sectors, including products/chemical tankers, gas carriers and containerships, its chief executive says.

However, crude tankers and bulker purchases are not on the agenda for the owner, which listed in Oslo this summer, says Lars Solbakken.

The company raised more than NOK 900m ($148m) for new investments when it floated in July and is now working on several projects.
