It should be noted that M/V Tender Soul and the rest of our newbuildings are 40%+ more efficient than previous generation similar size non-eco ships. “Thus, we look forward to the delivery of the remaining of our newbuildings that will help us reduce our carbon footprint. At the same time, we expect that the recent recovery in charter rates would benefit our vessels that are to be chartered or re-chartered in the next several months including the next scheduled deliveries from our newbuilding program.
