Euroseas Ltd. Announces three-year Charter Contract for its Intermediate Containership, M/V Emmanuel P
June 03 2025 - 4:05PM
Euroseas Ltd. (NASDAQ: ESEA, the “Company” or “Euroseas”), an owner
and operator of container carrier vessels and provider of seaborne
transportation for containerized cargoes, announced today that it
has secured a new time charter contract for its 4,250 teu
intermediate containership, M/V Emmanuel P built in 2005, for a
minimum period of 36 to a maximum period of 38 months, at the
option of the charterer, at a gross daily rate of $38,000. The new
charter period is expected to commence upon delivery of the vessel
from the shipyard, following the completion of her scheduled
drydock and the installation of energy saving devices, both of
which are expected in the first half of September of 2025.
Aristides Pittas, Chairman and CEO of
Euroseas commented: “We are very pleased to announce a new
time charter contract for our intermediate containership, M/V
Emmanuel P, with a top-tier charterer for 36-38 months at a
profitable rate of $38,000 per day. Amidst a shortage of tonnage,
this fixture sets a higher rate level than “last done” and serves
as a strong testament to the continued strength of the
containership market, as well as the trust main market players
place on Euroseas’s commercial, technical and commercial
management. This charter is expected to generate more than $32.0
million in EBITDA, over the minimum contracted period and increase
our charter coverage to approximately 97% for 2025, 67% for 2026
and 40% for 2027. In parallel, our average contracted daily rate
increases to about $28,700 for the remainder of 2025 and further
increases to more than $31,000 per day in 2026 and more than
$33,000 per day in 2027, providing significant visibility into our
future cash flows and earnings.”
