“We are reaping the benefits of a red-hot tanker market through a mix of sales of older vessels at stellar prices, a historically high spot market, and the addition of lucrative long-term charters. At the same time, the dry bulk market is powering on in all segments, but specifically Capesizes and Newcastlemaxes,” Cmb.Tech NV (NYSE:CMBT) CEO Alexander Saverys.

“Our spot results have been strong during Q1 and will be even stronger in Q2. With HFO [heavy fuel oil] prices up by 50 percent, we manage to extract more profit from the going market rates thanks to our very modern and super eco fleet,” he noted.

During the period, the company successfully sold eight very large crude carriers (VLCCs), capesize vessels, and the Suezmax Sienna.
