Filing receipts
“Partially offsetting the TCE revenue increases described above was a $6.8 million days-based decrease in the VLCC sector, which reflects 90 more off-hire days in the current period and a decrease in fleet days relating to the net impact of the sales of one 2010-built VLCC and one 2012-built VLCC during the first quarter of 2026, partially offset by the Company’s acquisition of a 2020-built VLCC in November 2025. Charter hire expenses increased by $10.6 million quarter-over-quarter primarily because charter hire expense for the second quarter of 2026 included hire due to a third party participant of TISL, the Suezmax tankers pool formed in March 2026 (as described in Note 8, “Variable In...”
“Such decrease resulted primarily from the sales in the MR fleet described above, offset to a large extent by increased depreciation in the LR1 fleet resulting from the fleet changes noted above. During the first half of 2026, TCE revenues for the Product Carriers segment increased by $130.2 million, or 71%, to $313.8 million from $183.6 million in the first half of 2025.”
“Such increase resulted principally from significantly higher TCE revenues, partially offset by a $11.3 million decrease in gains from vessel sales, as no vessels were sold during the current quarter. TCE revenues in the second quarter of 2026 increased by $245.4 million, or 130%, to $434.2 million from $188.8 million in the second quarter of 2025.”
