$3.7 billion of minimum contracted revenues from 82 vessel pro-forma fleet
16-vessel shuttle tanker fleet making TEN on the largest shuttle tanker owners in world
ATHENS, Greece, May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TEN, Ltd. (TEN) (NYSE: TEN) (the “Company”) today announced the delivery and naming of two DP2 suezmax shuttle tankers, the “Athens 04” and the “Paris 24”, from Samsung Heavy Industries, Co., Ltd. (“Samsung”) in South Korea and concurrent seven-year employment to a European oil major with options to extend until the vessels’ 15th year anniversary. Total gross revenues from these two contracts, excluding any optional periods being exercised, are expected in the region of $300 million. The delivery of the “Athens 04” and the naming of the “Paris 24”, which is expected in the fleet in June 2025, mark the commencement of TEN’s second phase expansion in the Brazilian offshore space, having established a solid presence in this “high barriers-to-entry” market since 2013.
These two vessels, on top of the four already in operation, spearhead TEN’s efforts in further cementing its foothold in this demanding segment of the tanker market and propel the fleet’s minimum gross revenues to $3.7 billion.
“This new milestone kickstarts a series of shuttle tanker deliveries set to make TEN one of the largest owners of such high-end tonnage in the world, and Brazil in particular,” Mr. George Saroglou, President and COO of TEN stated. “With a $3.7 billion secured revenue backlog, all to blue-chip concerns TEN can comfortably continue its growth, reward shareholders with healthy dividends which eventually should breach the deep valuation discount from its 52-week high of $31.5 dollars,” Mr. Saroglou concluded.
