TEN Ltd. Announces the Sale of a 2005-Built Suezmax Tanker and Completion of the First Phase of Its Dual-Fuel Renewal Program
22 Gennaio 2024 - 3:20PM
TEN, Ltd (TEN) (NYSE: TNP) (the “Company”) announces the sale of
the 2005-built suezmax tanker Eurochampion 2004 and the concurrent
delivery of two LNG powered aframax tankers, the Chios DF and the
Ithaki DF, the last remaining vessels in a series of four high-spec
eco-designed tankers built against long-term employment to a major
oil concern.
The Eurochampion 2004 which was debt free, will
contribute approximately $40 million to the Company’s cash balances
with management in continuous discussions for further such sales in
the near future.
“The sale and delivery of these three vessels
constitute another milestone for TEN as it highlights the Company’s
commitment to fleet renewal by combining profitable vessel
divestments with deliveries of high-end “green” vessels on
long-term contracts,” Mr. George Saroglou, President & COO of
TEN commented. “The Eurochampion 2004 has served the Company well
over the years and we wish her new owners “calm seas” in her
journeys. With the all LNG-powered vessels now delivered,
management will continue to explore growth opportunities on both
the newbuilding and secondhand front while maintaining its interest
in strategic sales to ensure a seamless fleet transition going
forward,” Mr. Saroglou concluded. TEN’s
