Maroussi, Greece, December 16, 2019 – Pyxis
Tankers Inc. (NASDAQ Cap Mkts: PXS), (the “Company” or “Pyxis
Tankers”), an emerging growth pure play product tanker company,
today announced that it had agreed to sell the Pyxis Delta, a 2006
built 46,616 dwt product tanker. The closing of the sale
should occur in January, 2020 and is subject to customary closing
conditions.
Valentios Valentis, our Chairman and CEO
commented:
“The sale of our oldest, non-eco MR tanker
reduces the average age of our fleet and provides us capital to
repay debt, improve balance sheet liquidity and pursue growth
opportunities, more cost-effectively. As we move into 2020, an
exciting time for our sector, we look forward to continuing to
enhance shareholder value.”
