CEO Harry Vafias Commented

Our second quarter financial and operating results is a testimony that we are on track as per our commitment to our investors. As you may all recall, we had promised our shareholders growth and this is exactly what we are doing but at the same time keeping a very solid balance sheet. Our fleet of four vessels has grown to ten vessels within a six months’ period. We have also placed emphasis on capitalizing on market conditions; this quarter we successfully increased our revenue by $6 million compared to Q1 22’. The repositioning of our two suezmax vessels deprived us from further revenue generation but most importantly undermined our profitability by an excess of $2 million; the benefits of this decision will appear in the third quarter. We are confident that the next quarter’s profitability will emulate the revenue increase resulting from the current market conditions.
