June 03 2024 - 4:10PM
TEN, Ltd (NYSE: TNP) (the “Company”) announces the completion of
the Viken Crude AS acquisition with the delivery of a 2019-built
scrubber fitted 1A Ice-Class Aframax tanker. Concurrently the
Company has sold a 2008-built Aframax and a 2007-built Steam
Turbine LNG carrier to third party interests. From these sales, the
Company has generated an additional $100 million in free cash.
Since the beginning of 2023, TEN has sold 13
vessels totaling 1.1 million dwt averaging about 18.5 years. At the
same time, it has purchased and placed new orders for 20 vessels
totaling 2.25 million dwt, with an average age of 1.2 years. The
above transaction significantly increases the Company’s size and
dwt capacity and drastically modernizes the fleet.
“The vessel divestments coupled with strategic
acquisitions, in co-operation with its first-class clients, have
enabled the Company to enhance this modern fleet, and increase
TEN’s critical mass in the maritime energy segments, while
strengthening our environmental footprint at a time considered
transformational for the industry,” Mr. George Saroglou, President
& COO of TEN commented.
