Delivery of Two Ships
Taylor Maritime Investments Limited (the " Company "), the
recently listed specialist dry bulk shipping company, announces the
delivery of two Geared Bulk Carriers to its trading fleet: one
asset committed for purchase since IPO (announced 16(th) June) and
one seed asset committed for purchase at IPO. These deliveries
increase the total delivered fleet to 19 vessels. The current
portfolio, including delivered and contracted vessels, totals 25
vessels.
Asset Type Consideration Delivery date
1 Handysize bulk All cash 13(th) July
carrier
--------------- ----------------- --------------
2 Supramax bulk Part cash / part 14(th) July
carrier shares
--------------- ----------------- --------------
The first asset is a Handysize bulk carrier built in Japan. The
vessel has 3 months remaining on its existing charter. Current 1
year time charter rates for this type of vessel are approximately
$18,500 per day, on which basis the vessel's blended average
annualized unlevered gross cash yield would exceed 18% over the
first 12 months of ownership.
The second asset, part of the seed portfolio outlined in the IPO
Prospectus, is a Japanese built, Supramax bulk carrier.
Consideration for the vessel was paid 50% in cash and 50% in
ordinary shares, as agreed at the time of the Company's IPO, with
the allotment of consideration shares announced on 12(th) July. The
vessel is income generating from delivery with an average
annualized unlevered gross cash yield of about 15% and a duration
of about 10 months.
Both vessels are fitted with ballast water management systems,
and the Supramax vessel is fitted with an energy saving rudder
device.
Commenting on the announcement, Edward Buttery, Chief Executive
Officer, said:
"These attractive acquisitions further increase the fleet's
earning power, adding incremental dividend coverage and enhancing
our position as a major owner in the Geared Bulk Carrier market.
The flexibility, versatility and port accessibility of these
vessels which carry necessity goods ensure a broad diversification
of the fleet's activity and risk profile."

About Geared vessels
The Company specializes in the acquisition and chartering of
vessels in the Handysize and Supramax bulk carrier segments of the
global shipping sector. These "Geared" vessels, which have their
own loading equipment, are mostly acquired second-hand, leveraging
valuations that are well below long-term average prices. The
Handysize market segment is particularly attractive, given the
flexibility, versatility and port accessibility of these vessels
which carry necessity goods - principally food and products related
to infrastructure building - ensuring broad diversification of
fleet activity.
