New time charter for the EM Spetses. Euroseas Ltd. announced a new time charter for its 1,740 twenty-foot equivalent feeder containership, EM Spetses, for a minimum period of 22 to a maximum period of 24 months, at the option of the charterer, at a gross daily rate of $21,500. The new charter will commence on April 12, 2026, in direct continuation of its present charter, and represents a daily increase of over $3,000 compared to the vessel’s current rate.

Incremental EBITDA with Expanded Coverage. The charter is expected to generate approximately $8.9 million in EBITDA over the minimum term and increase Euroseas’ charter coverage to approximately 87% in 2026, 71% in 2027, and 41% in 2028. The higher rate on the new time charter reflects a tight container market with limited vessel availability. Demand in the feeder segment remains strong as operators secure vessels to meet their requirements.
