Stamatis Tsantanis, the Company’s Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, stated: “Seanergy generated record profitability in the second quarter and the first half of 2024 as a result of the execution of our successful strategy to position the Company as a leading dry bulk operator with a pure-play Capesize fleet.

The daily TCE of our fleet was $26,636, representing a premium of about 18% compared to the $22,600 average of the Baltic Capesize Index for the period. Our active hedging plan was a main driver of this outperformance…”

In June, we took delivery of the 2013-built M/V Iconship, with the vessel immediately commencing employment on an index-linked time-charter with the earliest expiry date in March 2026. Furthermore, we expect to take delivery of a 2012 built Capesize, which will be renamed M/V Kaizenship, within the third quarter. Following these additions, our fleet will consist of 19 Capesize vessels, up from 17 at the start of 2024.
