Insights

The Q3 2024 results show mixed performance for Okeanis Eco Tankers. Revenue declined by 4.7% to $84.9 million, while profit dropped by 24.7% to $14.6 million. The key metrics reveal:

  • Fleetwide daily TCE rate of $43,900 per operating day demonstrates solid operational efficiency
  • Strong Q4 2024 booking rates with VLCCs at $46,900 per day suggest improving market conditions
  • Consistent dividend policy maintained at $0.45 per share despite lower earnings
The reduced cash position of $56.0 million from $82.1 million YoY warrants attention, though the company maintains healthy operating margins. Forward bookings indicate potential revenue stabilization, but increased operating expenses at $9,811 per day may continue to pressure margins.
