Delivery of Final Seed Asset
Taylor Maritime Investments Limited (" TMI "), the listed
specialist dry bulk shipping company, announces the delivery of its
final Seed Asset committed for purchase at IPO, a Japanese built
Handysize geared bulk vessel to its trading fleet. Consideration
for the vessel was paid 100% in cash.
This delivery takes the TMI delivered fleet to 31 vessels (one
of which is expected to leave the fleet and be delivered to a new
owner within the current quarter, as announced on 13 December
2021).
The vessel has entered into a new short-term time charter for
approximately 3 months at an annualized unlevered gross cash yield
of over 25%. This is in the context of our expectation that rates
will strengthen in the second part of this quarter and beyond.
The vessel is in the top quartile in terms of energy efficiency
compared to peers and, in line with TMI's ESG policy, will undergo
a programme to improve vessel energy efficiency including retrofits
at its next scheduled maintenance event. The vessel is already
fitted with a Ballast Water Treatment System.
Commenting on the announcement, Edward Buttery, Chief Executive
Officer, said:
"The delivery of this vessel, the final delivery of the vessels
we committed to buy at IPO, further enhances our earnings power as
we head into what we anticipate to be a good year for the Handysize
dry bulk market, with firming charter rates now that Chinese New
Year is behind us. Given limited supply growth, and resilient
demand, we expect at least a further 2-3 years of continued market
strength ahead of us."
