        希腊船东TEN公司透露，其已签署两艘装备船用洗涤塔的MR型成品油轮的建造合同。

        这两艘船是（TEN公司）8月从一家匿名造船厂订购的，并预计在2026年第一季度完成交付。

        这家希腊航运巨头（TEN公司）的最新举措是其船队更新换代计划的一部分，该计划目前包括10艘绿色环保船舶。其中包括四艘液化天然气双燃料驱动aframax型油轮、两艘DP2型穿梭油轮、两艘配有洗涤塔的Suezmax型油轮和两艘同装有洗涤塔的MR型在建成品油轮。

        今年，TEN公司管理层利用史上最高资产价格淘汰了八艘老旧成品油轮，从中收获了一笔可观的利润。

        TEN公司总裁兼首席运营官George Saroglou表示：“利用油轮市场的良好大环境，我司及时将第一代油轮很大一部分货币化，并将所得资金再投资于新型环保船舶。”

        同时，他补充说：“最近，我们的大客户希望获得长期增值业务，特别是液化天然气和油轮业务，这让我们有信心实现达到超过15亿美元的远期收入，并为股东持续回馈良好收益与上涨红利。”

        据TEN公司报道，其2023年上半年净收入与去年同期相比增长超过350%。目前公司净收入达到2.372亿美元，与2022年上半年的5170万美元相比增长了近五倍。

        油轮市场所呈现优势主要受两种因素刺激，一是有利的供需基本面，二是乌克兰战争持续且没有减弱迹象而对贸易造成了有利的混乱影响。

        据悉，TEN公司已获超过15亿美元的船队收入积压，其长期市场基本面依然呈强劲发展趋势。

        TEN公司的多元化能源船队目前由68艘双壳船组成，其中包括10艘新造船，总载重吨位达840万载重吨。

TEN bolsters green vessel fleet with scrubber-fitted MR pair

Greek shipowner TEN has signed construction contracts for two scrubber-fitted MR product tankers, the company revealed.

These vessels, ordered in August from an unnamed shipbuilder, are slated for delivery in the first quarter of 2026.

The Greek shipping giant’s latest move is part of its fleet rejuvenation program which now comprises 10 green vessels. These include four dual-fuel LNG-powered aframax vessels, two DP2 shuttle tankers, two scrubber-fitted Suezmax vessels and two scrubber-fitted MR product tankers under construction.

TEN’s management took advantage of the historically high asset prices and divested eight of its older product tankers at significant profits this year.

“Taking advantage of the positive environment in the tanker market the Company has timely monetized a big part of its first-generation tankers and has reinvested the proceeds for new and environmentally friendly vessels, common share dividend distributions and a significant reduction of its preferred shares,”George Saroglou, President and COO of TEN commented. 

“The recent appetite from our major clients for accretive long-term business, particularly in the LNG and tanker segments, has given us the comfort to secure over $1.5 billion in forward revenues and ensure continuity in providing healthy returns and increased dividends to our shareholders.” 

TEN reported over 350 percent increase in net income in the first half of 2023 when compared to the same period last year. Net income experienced a near fivefold increase from the 2022 first half level of $51.7 million and reached $237.2 million.

The strength of tanker markets is primarily spurred by favorable supply and demand fundamentals and favorable trade dislocations caused by the war in the Ukraine continuing and with no signs of abating.

As informed, TEN has secured over $1.5 billion in fleet revenue backlog and long-term market fundamentals remain strong.

TEN’s diversified energy fleet currently consists of 68 double-hull vessels, including ten newbuilds, totaling 8.4 million dwt.
