Euroseas terminated the charter of the Rena P and replaced it with a longer, fixed contract. The original contract earned a rate of $20,500/day until April 2024 and then shifted to indexed pricing with a $13,000 floor and a $21,000 ceiling through February 2025. Our modeling had assumed rates drop to $15,000 in 2024. The new contract begins in August 2023 and extends 20-24 months (charter’s option) essentially adding 2-6 months to the contract and fixes the rate at $21,000. The new contract adds modestly to our 2024 earnings and cash flow.
Euroseas also replaced the Emmanual P contract with a longer, higher-priced contract. The new contract increases the rate to $21,000/day from $19,000 and extends the contract 1-5 months (charter’s option). The new contract also adds modestly to 2024 earnings and cash flow.
