Team Tankers International Ltd. (OSE: TEAM) reported EBITDA for the 3^rd quarter of $6.0 million, compared with $9.7 million in the 2^nd quarter of 2016 (Q3'15: $19.6 million).  Net loss in the 3^rd quarter of 2016 was $4.2 million, compared with a net loss of $4.4 million in the 2^nd quarter (net profit Q3'15: $7.4 million). The average time charter equivalent rate for the fleet was $10,926 per day in the 3^rd quarter, compared with $13,242 per day in the previous quarter.

In the 3^rd quarter, the Company completed the sale of the Sichem Contester, a 19,822 dwt stainless steel ship, the Sichem Edinburgh, a 13,153 dwt coated ship, and the disposition of the Siteam Anja, a 44,640 dwt coated ship, resulting in a combined net gain of $0.4 million.

Team Tankers' CEO Hans Feringa commented, "With the vessel disposals in the 3^rd quarter, we have now completed the strategic realignment of the Team fleet. Even though the freight environment in our industry has been challenging, Team has approximately $100 million of cash versus $97 million of debt and therefore has one of the strongest balance sheets in the publicly traded shipping universe.  With very low leverage, Team is well-positioned to capitalize on strategic opportunities that will drive further consolidation of the chemical tanker industry."
