AMSC CEO, Pål Lothe Magnussen comments, “As our existing fleet remains fully contracted in a Jones Act tanker market that has recovered beyond pre-covid levels, we report stable financial results for the quarter. Two of the three tankers returning to us in December have successfully been rechartered at improved rates and we are actively working with alternatives for the third vessel. In addition, we are excited about the announced acquisition of Normand Maximus, which we believe will be an accretive and valuable addition to our fleet. The current momentum in the offshore services market is strong and the outlook promising which makes us confident in the long-term potential for Normand Maximus.”
