"Our very high charter coverage at quite profitable rates for the remainder of the year but also for 2024 suggests that we should continue registering highly profitable quarters regardless of charter rates development," said Aristides Pittas, chairman and CEO of Euroseas.



"We believe we are well insulated from market volatility and expect to generate significant cash flow reserves that will allow us to comfortably fund the equity portion of our remaining seven newbuilding vessels, continue our dividend and share repurchase program and still have a significant war chest to pursue investment opportunities in an accretive way to our shareholders," he added.
