As Euroseas says, this was mainly the result of the higher average charter rates the company´s vessels earned, and the increased number of vessels owned and operated in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the corresponding period of 2021.
Aristides Pittas, the Chairman and CEO of Euroseas commented on the results saying that “the explosion of charter rates from late 2020 to August 2022, has allowed the company to charter all of its vessels at very profitable rates for periods extending up to three or more years creating a backlog of contracted revenues in excess of $450 million”.
Also the company, as he said, embarked onto a newbuilding program and ordered nine modern ecologically friendly feeder vessels, two of which the company have already contracted for a minimum period of three years.
