Q & A Highlights
Q: Given the strong market recovery, what is EuroDry's chartering strategy for vessels rolling off charter in the coming months? Are you inclined to lock in longer-term fixed rates or retain greater exposure to the spot market? A: Anastasios Aslidis (CFO): Our approach is to secure longer-term charters when rates approach the high teens. If we can secure rates in the high $10,000s per day range, we will consider putting more vessels on one-year charters. However, if rates are in the mid-teens or below, we prefer to remain exposed to the spot market to capture potential upside.
Q: With the significant earnings improvement, is the current market strength more structural or cyclical for your vessel classes (Panamax and Supramax) compared to the Capesize segment? A: Anastasios Aslidis (CFO): For our mid-sized segments, the order book is slightly higher than Capesize, but the average fleet age is also older, which counterbalances this. While supply is a supportive factor, demand has been the determining factor in recent years, as seen in the weak 2025 market. We believe both supply and demand are equally important, and with improved demand and a supportive supply story, we are hopeful for continued strength in 2026 and 2027.
Q: Can you provide more color on the positive $1.5 million impact from voyage expenses in the second quarter and your expectations for the second half of the year? A: Anastasios Aslidis (CFO): This positive number is due to rising oil prices. As a time charter operator, we buy back fuel at pre-agreed prices when vessels are delivered and sell it to the next charterer. In an environment of increasing oil prices, we benefit from this spread. If oil prices stabilize, we would expect this number to be near zero or a small negative number, which is the norm for our business model.
Q: Do you expect daily vessel operating expenses to remain near current levels, or are there cost pressures from labor, maintenance, or regulatory compliance? A: Anastasios Aslidis (CFO): We expect operating expenses to remain near our budget levels. Our budget was slightly higher than last year (less than 3% overall), and we are currently performing on or slightly below budget. We have no reason to expect higher operating expenses in the second half, as our budget already accounts for current cost levels and inflationary pressures.
Q: What are your expectations for the average debt margin going forward, especially with the new building financings and the recent refinancing of the M/V Ekaterini? A: Anastasios Aslidis (CFO): We expect the average margin to decrease. We are currently receiving quotes from banks well below 2%, closer to 1.5%. The latest loan we finalized was much closer to 1.5%, so we hope the average will come down.
Q: The dry docking days estimate for the second half increased from the previous quarter. Did you move some dry dock days from 2027? A: Anastasios Aslidis (CFO): The change involves our vessel Alexandros, whose dry docking falls right on the turn of the fourth quarter. We now have 16 days budgeted in Q4 and the remaining days in Q1 2027. This adjustment is based on our operational plan.
Q: With the fleet renewal program, will off-hire days increase in 2027 due to scheduled dry dockings? A: Anastasios Aslidis (CFO): We distinguish between commercial and operational off-hire. We hope to keep operational and commercial off-hire to a minimum. However, in 2027, we have additional dry docking scheduled for the vessel Starlight and some in-water surveys, which will result in some off-hire days.
Q: Is the situation in Indonesia (export restrictions) a more important consideration for your fleet than the Middle East conflict? A: Anastasios Aslidis (CFO): By far, the Middle East situation is the overwhelming consideration for the entire market, not just for us. It has numerous side effects, either through direct effects on trade or through inefficiencies introduced in various routes. Indonesia is a factor, but the Middle East is the dominant issue.
