“The current contracts, along with the orders we placed previously, bring our newbuilding programme to nine vessels and solidify our presence in the large feeder containership sector.

“It further highlights our commitment for an environmentally friendly fleet. With our earnings visibility well into 2025, we believe that investing in modern new vessels makes good use of the cash flow that our existing vessels generate and positions Euroseas to benefit from upcoming market developments, especially, as related to new environmental regulations for the benefit of our shareholders.”

Furthermore, the six 2,800TEU containerships will receive upgraded engines and be LNG-ready where possible.
