United Maritime Corporation (United) (NASDAQ: USEA), announced on Monday (Aug22) the delivery of the previously-announced Aframax vessel acquisition, renamed M/T Bluesea.
The Vessel is a 114,000-deadweight (“dwt”) crude oil tanker, built in 2006 by Samsung Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. in South Korea. M/T Bluesea is the second out of the 4-tanker fleet acquisition agreed by United in July 2022. The delivery of the third vessel is expected within August and the fourth vessel by the end of October.
Following its delivery, M/T Bluesea has entered a leading Aframax tanker pool.
Stamatis Tsantanis, the Company’s Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, stated: “We are very pleased to announce the timely delivery of the second tanker vessel of United and the participation of M/T Bluesea in a prominent Aframax pool.
“The outlook of the tanker sector is very bullish, supported by low fleet growth and increased demand for oil and refined petroleum products. We expect to take delivery of the two product tankers promptly, expanding further our revenue base and solidifying the Company’s position in the petroleum tanker space.”
