New time charter contract. Euroseas executed a new time charter contract for the M/V Rena P, a 4,250 twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) intermediate containership. The charter contract is at a gross daily rate of $35,500 for a minimum period of 35 months and a maximum period of 37 months at the charterer’s option. The contract is expected to take effect on August 21, 2025, in continuation of its present charter. The contract is anticipated to contribute roughly $29.0 million in EBITDA during the minimum contract period. The new contract strengthens the company’s charter coverage to 88% in 2025 and 54% in 2026.
Updating estimates. The new charter contract for $35,500 represents a significant improvement compared to the previous rate of $21,000. Consequently, we have increased our 2025 adjusted EBITDA and EPS estimates to $145.1 million and $14.20, respectively, from $139.1 million and $13.35. In addition to the M/V Rena P, our estimates reflect updated time charter contract information for the M/V Marcos, M/V Synergy Antwerp, M/V Synergy Keelung, and M/V EM Hydra.
