John Fredriksen's Ship Finance International (SFI) is going out on the road to drum up support for a new bond sale.

It has mandated Nordea and a syndicate of banks to arrange a series of fixed-income investor meetings in the Nordic region from Tuesday.

These could result in a five-year Norwegian bond being issued, subject to market conditions.

The company last week took its investment since Fredriksen's Seadrill finalised its restructuring to almost $1bn with a third major containership deal in quick succession.
