Consolidated time charter equivalent revenues (TCE) reached $11.7 million, a significant increase of over 25% from the previous year.
Adjusted EBITDA for Q3 2024 rose to $6.7 million.
Business Progress:
The company successfully expanded into the dry bulk sector with the acquisition of a Kamsarmax vessel, which contributed to its diversified fleet now consisting of six modern mid-sized eco vessels.
For Q4 2024, 69% of MRs' available days are already booked at healthy rates, showing proactive charter strategy management.
The company continues to actively pursue acquisitions that provide value, despite high current prices for modern MR tankers and has become more selective in acquisitions for older bulkers.
Opportunities:
Long-term prospects for both product tanker and dry bulk sectors look promising due to global refinery additions and expected growth in net refinery capacity.
Expected growth in dry bulk demand correlates with a projected global GDP growth of 3.2% through 2025.
Risks:
Fluctuations in chartering environment due to macroeconomic and geopolitical events could introduce volatility in rates and demand.
High asset values and strong chartering conditions might not align with immediate acquisition opportunities, particularly at reasonable prices.
