Annual Report 2017

2017 in brief

A challenging year

Tanker markets remained weak in 2017. The main reasons were Opec production cuts and relatively large ship deliveries, which created a significant imbalance between supply and demand. For Concordia Maritime, the decline was partly offset by the fact that several ships were employed on niche contracts.

Continued investments

During the year, an agreement was signed for the inclusion of three MR (ECO) vessels of IMO 2/3 class. In parallel, the charter for another MR vessel was extended for at least another year.

Renewed contract for P-MAX vessels

During the year, the charter contracts for the P-MAX vessels Stena Paris and Stena Provence were renewed. At the end of the year, five of the ten vessels in the P-MAX fleet were employed under time charter contracts.

Sale of the IMOIIMAX vessel Stena Important

During the year, a sale & lease back agreement was signed for the IMOIIMAX vessel Stena Important. The purchase price amounted to USD 36 million.

No serious accidents or incidents

2017 was another year in which none of Concordia Maritime’s vessels were involved in any incident resulting in serious personal injury or bunker oil/cargo discharging into the water.
