Fourth-quarter revenues fell sharply once again. Shipping rates continued to decline. The average TCE rate fell 53% year over year and 15% quarter over quarter. Seanergy was able to partially offset the impact of lower rates because of the net addition of ships in 2022 and thus a higher number of operating days. The company was also able to generate new revenues by providing management services to United Maritimes Corporation, which was spun off in July.
Lower revenues partially offset by cost reductions and share repurchases. Daily vessel operating costs were $6,651 during the quarter, down from $7,184 last year and $7,593 in the third quarter. Financing costs were below expectations despite the investment in new ships. Management has been active refinancing debt when possible. Of particular note was the decrease in diluted share count due to the repurchase of convertible notes.
