  • Fleetwide daily TCE rate of $26,100 per operating day; VLCC, Suezmax and Aframax/LR2 TCE rates of $32,000, $22,000 and $18,600 per operating day, respectively.
  • Daily vessel operating expenses (“opex”) of $7,506 per calendar day, including management fees.
  • In Q2 2021 to date, 90% of the available VLCC spot days have been booked at an average TCE rate of $15,000 per day, 47% of the available Suezmax spot days have been booked at an average TCE rate of $18,600 per day and 65% of the available Aframax/LR2 spot days have been booked at an average TCE rate of $16,600 per day.
  • In January 2021, the Company transferred its listing from Euronext Expand to Oslo Bors.
  • In March 2021, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.10 per share, amounting to $3.2 million.

Subsequent Events

  • In May 2021, the Company signed a memorandum of agreement for the sale of its Aframax/LR2 fleet comprising three vessels (Nissos Therassia, Nissos Schinoussa, Nissos Heraclea) all built in 2015 at H.H.I. South Korea to an unaffiliated third party for a total of $120.75 million. The sale is anticipated to be completed upon delivery of the final vessel to her new owners by latest October 2021. The Company expects to incur a non-cash accounting charge of approximately $11 million in connection with the sale in Q2 2021.
  • The sale is expected to generate net proceeds of approximately $45 million after repayment of debt outstanding at delivery. Upon completion of the sale, the Board intends to propose a shareholder distribution(s) of the majority of the net proceeds. The distribution(s) will be achieved through a write-down of paid-in capital, which requires Board approval only and is not a taxable event.
