EuroDry Ltd. (NASDAQ: EDRY, the “Company” or “EuroDry”), an owner
and operator of drybulk vessels and provider of seaborne
transportation for drybulk cargoes, announced today that it has
signed an agreement to sell M/V Tasos, a 75,100 dwt drybulk vessel,
built in 2000, for demolition, for approximately $5 million. The
vessel is expected to be delivered to its buyers, an unaffiliated
third party, between mid-February and mid-March 2025, upon
completion of her present charter.
Aristides Pittas, Chairman and CEO of
EuroDry, commented: “We are pleased to
announce our agreement to sell of our M/V Tasos, the eldest
Panamax-size bulker of our fleet which was due for a costly fifth
special survey, for recycling. As a result of this sale, we expect
to book a gain of approximately $2.1 million, or about $0.75 per
share. The net proceeds of this sale will increase our near-term
liquidity and enable us to quickly capitalize on accretive
investment opportunities in the sector, when they arise, for the
benefit of our shareholders.”
